no, the "F" reinforces how special this version of the IS is. Lexus should paint the background of the badge to match the car color.:thumbup:Netforcer said:i'm loving the blue...
The 'F' badge has to go, it seems out of place...

No information on weight yet. My wild guess would be 3750lb, ~200lb heaviver than IS350, ~200lb lighter than RS4.Kevs Toy said:so, anyone know anything like weight distribution, curb weight, will the tranny allow full manual control, redline, etc?
A new torque-converter lock-up control was developed. This new design allows for a very direct, crisp gear change through the constant lock-up of the torque converter in second through eighth gears. The torque converter also allows for great launch ability for fast standing-start acceleration. Downshifts, meanwhile, are accompanied by incredibly precise throttle blips to match engine RPM to vehicle speed.
The IS-F engine is mated to the world's first eight-speed direct sport-shift transmission. A new torque-converter lock-up control was developed that allows for a direct, crisp gear change through the constant lock-up of the torque converter in second through eighth gears. In Drive mode, the IS-F transmission performs with great smoothness, and the torque converter allows for great launch ability for fast standing-start acceleration that will register a zero-to-60 time in less than 4.9 seconds.
