Well here it is new pics of the IS-F - nice! No six speed but the LS eight. However with 1/10th of a second upshifts and throttle blips on the downshift.
Automatic transmission auto rev-matching at downshifts (like BMW SMG or Audi DSG) and full drifts without any electronic nanny.
Overall, very nice car and welcome back to Toyota/Lexus in the grand touring sports car segment. If it is a high revving (power seems close to 100 hp per liter of displacement) 8000+ rpm engine then Yamaha finally returned with a big V8 engine since 2ZZ-GE and 3S-GE 5 years ago. Looking forward to reading magazines tests and comparos.

Performance wise I look foward to burning some tires in it. Looks wise YUCK! The front looks waaay to bulgy the rear doesnt bulge out enough to match the front. I think a good set of super low offset 19s would fix that problem. I HOPE they sell the car in a 6 speed tranny config!
