More like the new M3 that has more confort features, but gives up some in handling.

This is verbatim from the unveiling just an hour ago:

Must be balanced. Must be authentic. And, most importantly, Must haul a**.
And here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the all-new 2008 Lexus IS-F

I am guessing low 50's. Lexus is playing a cat-and-mouse game w/ BMW (M3) on final pricing and power output. It's going to be interesting to say the least.

I am liking it.

Looks like Honda was late to the punch on 3 series coupe styling. Nice proportions, but I wish they would go "Honda" on the rear end styling, not Acura. I doubt we'll see those brake calipers either. If they go all-wheel or rear wheel (which I seriously doubt on the rear wheel), they'll have a winner.

The front of the new Accord coupe lacks the sportiness of the rest of the car. Overall a big leap forward in car design for Honda which has been so conservative with design for so long.

As far as the Lexus IS-F. I sat in an IS350 the other week at the Lexus dealer. I'm telling you that you have to be a tiny little midget to fit comfortably in this thing. My head was touching the roof and I'm only 6'0". Plus, the back seat is non-existant. Why buy a car with 4 doors if it has no back seat?

I like the IS-F too.......my next purchase is going to be saloon, so, this looks to be exactly what I'd look for.
