[Januszcisienski1970]

Lexus i koleś w koszuli flanelowej... ;))

[S1ick10292]

TOYOTA went OFF ON THIS ONE BABY LOOKS FUCKIN SEXY

[sdfasdfvccvvc]

Good job by Lexus, they actually can build an "alive" cars if they want to... Too bad the suspension on IS-F is still too firm and absolutely unusable if you live in an area with bad roads (such as whole NYC area) and the car's exhaust tips look like they belong on a "rice racer" kiddie's car...

[TheMusicandlyricz]

@sdfasdfvccvvc

Agree, same for the GT-R they look like they're made for the kids

[namanp]

poppin my collar!

[maestrularmelor]

around 0:24 did he just sayd 8 speed automatic?? wtf 0_o

[Avallido89]

@maestrularmelor yeah... he did. and it does.

[maestrularmelor]

@Avallido89 lol it's kinda stupid

[Avallido89]

@maestrularmelor not when you think about all the gas your gonna be saving when your cruising at like 95mph in 8th gear.

[maestrularmelor]

@Avallido89 i don't know..i think it's too many gears..my opinion :d

[SoundMan1985]

@maestrularmelor He did.

[joseeduardoescobar]

this is the only lexus I love

[wsoto002]

god its ugly

[juneski714]

I can't wait to get my improved 2011 isf! ;)

[DUBSAC]

Road fahts dood

[travisfwebb86]

Give me that car, punk.

[Daiymian]

Yea that was a great review indeed. The IS-F in my opinion is a great full package deal and you get so much more stuff for your money. Standard. BMW hasn't changed their interiors in forever and they lose in that category to its competitors everytime. I'd rather be in a car that has it on all or even MOST points instead of just superfast but when you get in it, you aren't impressed at all. That's just me though.

[valetdabess]

1:12 drool

[Toyota4Life]

I WANT THIS CAR !!!! F Power.

[Toyota4Life]

Japanese muscle FTW. 

[nickasu420]

2 door?

[sok213]

I LOST all interest when he said "neither of them come in manual transmission".....basically its a fast car for old rich folks.

[Toyota4Life]

@sok213 Does the GTR have manual ? or the Ferrari 458 doesnt have it either so all these cars must be for old rich folks huh. Fool

[sok213]

@Toyota4Life the ferrari 458 has paddle shifts which is the same as a manual transmission, and the Nissan GTR has a Dual clutch 6-speed transmission you fucktard.

[XxViciousxX]

@sok213 458 is 7 speed dual clutch transmission. both gtr and 458's transmissions are like real manuals only with a computer controlling the clutches.

[Phantomond]

Americans really need to learn from the British so bad. This was such an awful and unentertaining review. I almost fell asleep. All the american reviewrs, not just this midget, should learn from Chris Harris, Autocar, Evo, or Auto Express crews, not to mention Jeremy Clarkson. This review is simply rubbish. It's like my grandma did it. This great car deserves much more.

[AVeryBeautifulLoser]

@Phantomond I'm American, and I agree completely.

[cooperunionstud]

Ross, you gotta change the dress code, red flanel shirts doesnt fit the jacket you are wearing.

[MajestyMgo]

i want it soo bad =/ .. <3 this car

[landon390]

Loved it

[951cm6]

this guy knows how to review a car, props.

[driveintherain]

Love this car... more than M3! Too many d*cks driving around with M3s...

[jdubb408]

overpriced toyota

[Hondahead03]

Impressive.

[JOHNNYGIX]

8spd slushbox... no thanks. Beautiful car but I think I'll keep my sti. It's time for a bigger turbo and internals, you just can't get more power out of this Lexus without dumping huge coin into it.

[turbo311]

I normally hate Lexus and automatics, but I would totally buy this over an AMG or M3. Japanese muscle is uncommon.

[15LFA]

MY DREAM CAR !!! <3

[kern417]

all that talking show the car more

[edu206]

M power bby

[JSoulstorm]

Honestly this is quite a great car. I am a huge M3 fan but this car is outstanding, great power, VERY impressive interior and vivid looks. This has to be one of the most competitive car divisions ever.

[wnet8]

can we see more of the car and less of is commentary?

[furiouskid100]

i see this car everyday, cant take my eyes off it :OO

[dickcheese663]

im glad they re-did the suspension..... it was way too understeery even with a skilled right foot...good job

[nelson4568]

id rather have a lexus that won't break down after 50 thousand miles

[magnummcneil]

for just a little more cash I'd rather have a caddy cts-v with a proper manual tranny anyday.

[SirianKings]

@magnummcneil

Cadillacs are butt ugly.

[magnummcneil]

@SirianKings you have your opinions, I have mine.

[Toyota4Life]

@magnummcneil and for a little more cash I would rather have the new M5... whats your point ?

[tammer59]

Either this is a huge car or the host is really really small. He does not appear to be so short until the roof of the car is at his shoulder height. Funny optical illusion.

[sirtechy]

It aint no C63 bENZ!

[Nightbird]

@sirtechy Thank goodness for that..because I actually own a MB and the repair bills and lack of dependability are making my next car a Lexus. Same goes for all my friends and family who were suckered into thinking MB were quality built cars..when in fact they are full of defects and are a mechanics dream to bill you to death.

The last good MB was the W126..that one was built by hand and was first rate all the way. These newer MB's are total crap.

[LeoDamm]

@ChaiBeta Rs6 is Logically upper than ISF. He is compared with M3 and audi Rs4. I prefer German Cars than Japanese.

[Viper670]

@venulosche :D

[IS350Rocks]

I'm surprised..........not a bunch of hater's here. Some koolaid drinking M boys and B boy's. That's unusual for a good review of a Lexus. Most of us know the car is world class. Other's will always find fault in something they will never own. Ego's get in the way of common sense. I don't own one, it must be shit if I don't like it!

[159jammy]

Who cares if the M3 is better? Even if it is better, i would still get the ISF because it looks so much better, inside and out. And makes a better noise and is probably faster in a straight line.

[bmwmsport11]

@159jammy you also would not get a knee airbag with the bmw

[oldmanin21]

@159jammy i a agree with u ... who care about speed ? i just care about what u want

[Toyota4Life]

@159jammy Who cares of the M3 is better ? The M3 isn't better.. IMO the actual "better" mean see the repair shop less and mean less problems. Thats the real better car. The ISF come better equipped, looks better inside and out. Sounds better just as fast or faster then the M3. More reliable and most important more rare. The M3 is played out now. 

[Dreadzedan]

@159jammy

damn straight

[Dreadzedan]

@159jammy

M3 aint better, just not as good looking or sounding thats all.running round that track just as fst.

[heemoii]

@159jammy true, lexus looks way more premium, m3 looks like reg 30,000 bmw 328i

[NoloPasoro01]

@159jammy and, the ISF is a LOT more reliable than the M3

[n0f3aR629]

@159jammy bmw is crap compared with lexus!!

[TheMusicandlyricz]

@n0f3aR629

You're crap because you can never affort driving an M3.

Go have fun with your Corolla....oops shit I thought lexus and corolla are the same shit.

[superchargedAMG]

@159jammy not faster in a straight line, and dont tell me those exhausts arent vulgar

[redeemer777]

Excellent review thanks

[kirk772002]

I wonder where they got the figure 4.2 to 60mph?

[zetina2010]

I would just poop in my pants (probably pass out) if i had the car right now. :D

[kashimo456]

That car is awesome if it can smoke an audi tt ill take it

[cvunit]

yea it gave me a boner too

[ParlakOglanCocugu]

AUDI RS 6

much better car

I tried both

[lightsodda]

@ParlakOglanCocugu Yes, in your opinion. Don't share it next time.

[Sandst0rm34]

@ParlakOglanCocugu retard the isf does not compete with the rs6 leave ur shitty opinion elsewhere

[ParlakOglanCocugu]

@Sandst0rm34

shut your that filty mouth up

or I'll do it for ya

cunt face

[Sandst0rm34]

@ParlakOglanCocugu stfu u useless shit...ok, do it for me, oh wait u can't cuz ur a worthless shit, u have no knowledge in cars and u haven't tested shit because judging by ur remarks ur prob an adopted 12 ur old boy who no one loves...stfu and go fuck urself...by the way nice picture u gay fag

[YeuLaKho]

good review

[Thug9030]

IS THIS AWD

[Boostergts]

@Thug9030 rear wheel drive only..

[Thug9030]

@Boostergts thank u

[mountain885]

C63 is better //AMG power

[mikealanzo]

@mountain885 And more expencive....

[MrDefq]

Sorry but I cum every time I hear that engine noise. Most elegant engine noise I have ever heard. It is even nicer than Lexus LFA engine sound.

[Buzzzzzable]

We have a non F- 07 IS350. Trust me, it is fast ENOUGH.

[MrDefq]

@Buzzzzzable How is the pick up?

[russiaviation]

Very good review by the host, and even more impresive to Lexus to improve the awesome ISF even more stealthy! TOYOTA IS THE BEST, no questions ask! Period!

[NguyenEmpir3]

IS F, M3, or C class AMG?

[JAPANTUNER100]

ISF= IS (FUCK THATS FAST)

[mikechen121]

Hey Ross, quick question. With all these improvement in performance and lapping a track equally quick as an M3, how would you say the IS-F differentiate itself from the Beemer, in terms of drive feel, interior comfort, and daily practicality?

[hrprk7]

so with this car you get a bunch of features that you will never use and only 23mpg high way i have my truck that i can pull what ever the fuck i want with i get 20 mpg my maitnence is checking oil and cleaning the air filter and i paid $700 for it and its 4x4 so i can get where ever the hell i want so i look at cars like this as people just waisting their money

[superduperboyx]

@hrprk7 You have to remember this is considered a "luxury" car.. or "luxury sports car" thus the point is having lots of features w/o needing them is the idea. It is for the wealthy, spoiled, enthusiast, or broke ppl who want to just show off. But yah I know what you mean, most cars can do what this car can do, or features it may have other cars may have at more than less than half the cost. As long as you're happy with your truck, it's all good in the hood.. or under the hood in this case.

[Sadfhorde]

This car is definitely great and has improved well. I just don't see the need for that particular exhaust tip setup.

[sanju2]

I sat in one of these at the auto show in April. It was a huge disappointment. Go sit in a C63 AMG or M3 and you will see why they cost more. The dashboard material is very cheap looking. Like something you would find in a practical toyota or other jap sedan. Like someone also mentioned, fake quad exhausts are still there. That is the epitome of rice. Having non functional parts on the car like the fake exhausts only hurt the Lexus against the competition.

[nidhogg11]

@sanju2 you dont know anything about lexus, they only use the highest quality materials. the isf has soft like butter leather, alcantara, carbon fiber, since when a fucking toyota had carbon fiber in it? and no i cant see why the c63 amg and the m3 costs more, because they dont  you idiot. the m3 sedan costs $55, the c63 amg $58, the isf $60, get your facts right next time!

[tmtm325]

@sanju2 Ferrari California also have fake quad exhausts.

[Toyota4Life]

@sanju2 So why does the ISF always seems to lap faster then the C63 ? Fake exhaust ? to correct you this car doesn't have fake exhaust what you are looking at are called tips and many car have tip like this today including BMW, Ferrari and Lambos just to name a few.. and I've sat in a C63 the interior is NOTHING to brag about. Hard plastic everywhere sorry excuse for a Benz. Its a base Benz with a nice motor the ISF is a much better all around car.

[Toyota4Life]

What a great review !! I love this Lexus. This would be my car if i was in the market for a small sport sedan.

Lexus you did a good job

[Buzzzzzable]

I don't like the IS F; it's to...fat looking. I like our regular 07 IS 350

[roydied15]

he reminds me of finch from american pie.

[quistian69]

It still has the fake exhaust tips.

[gr1mm3h]

@quistian69 so does the ferrari california, what's your point?

[ivarsrini]

this guy knows what he is talking about. the difference between the ISF and M3 is wafer thin.

[LuiL3wis]

his "S" sound funny lol....

[drzfreshzboi]

15 people can't drive.

[drzfreshzboi]

:''( i want that car menng

[venulosche]

did he say bonerfide!

[ricpride]

@venulosche Yes, he did. :) Freudian slip! ;)

[iAMcooooooool]

@venulosche

Nice job ripping off Beavis & Butthead.

[khakimov]

@venulosche bonner find lol hahah

[readygo242]

@venulosche You obviously can't hear very well, because he clearly said "bonafide."

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

Looks like they have the car dialed in. The revisions have earned it kudos all around. Outside of a small back seat, issues are fading fast. Expect a new ISF in 2013, after next year's redesign

[sanju2]

Sorry this car is a fail. I sat it in during the NY auto show on 4/25. The interior was disgusting. I don't care how fast it is when a luxury car looks nice on the outside and inside, it's like a car from the 90's. There's really nothing impressive about it. The interior made me and my friend walk away in disgust. I was a huge fan fan of this beauty until the interior told me otherwise. The carbon fiber trim looked fake as hell. The steering wheel looked like it belonged in a Hyundai.

[nismo007]

want a reliable sports sedan get this, my friend got a dct m3, and hates it, dct failed, oil pump failed, i drive failed. I love the m3, but if you want a reliable version of a sports sedan, the Is-f should be your next buy

[1155Hamed]

The BEST!!!

[miamirider12]

are the exhaust tips fake on the 2011 also??

[momo112192]

this is one orgasmic car

[cmlesschwab]

The car's freakin sick, but why did they put those UGLY ASS wheels on it, worst wheel design decision ever. They should have just stuck to the original wheels which look way cleaner and plain better

[edgo45]

dude this guy has to be four feet tall look how huge the is looks when he stands near it

[iiiantichrist]

This is Japanese shaizer. 

[michaeljacksen]

rather have a corvette z06 

[thurlsworld]

@michaeljacksen Eww.

[Jamzkangster]

@thurlsworld like your face.

[thurlsworld]

@Jamzkangster creative.

[mountain885]

Mercrdes c63 is better than this //AMG\\ power

[radiodiary1]

**I HAVE A CHOICE OF BUYING A...USED 2009 NISSAN GT-R FOR $62,000.00 or A NEW LEXUS IS-F FOR $62,000.00............AND I LOVE BOTH CARS**

[talentscout45]

@radiodiary1 you forgot the TAX

[komine866]

@radiodiary1 both nice cars but I think you'd have to go with the GT-R. They both have great specs but the GT-R, wow how much fun could you have with that =)

[artbking1]

Hell yeahh agree!



[bigzabra500]

how much is this car?

[happypals4u]

it is not a m3 competitor but a benz c63 competitor. nothing compares to BMW.

ICH LIEBE MIENEN BMW.

[jortiz87gto1]

this shit is UGLY and SSSLLLOOOOOWWW. if you want a 4 door get the king CTS-V. IT WILL KILL THAT.

[BigKiddStats]

@jortiz87gto1 okkk, i never c a Cts-v so it doesnt matter

[MovieTheaterHead]

That's a sick coat.

[xXmilesdavisXx]

lexus is dummmm fucking morons isdiitos

[ProGunTexan]

Cadillac CTS-V would whoop its booty

[etoyotarockshsucks]

@ProGunTexan NOT! Nothing can beat this especially general motors shit!

[ProGunTexan]

@etoyotarockshsucks Hey cool bro.

[etoyotarockshsucks]

@ProGunTexan Ok, but I don't see how anything could beat this.

[ProGunTexan]

@etoyotarockshsucks Check both cars stats. Then check the videos where the CTSV beats the ISF.

[etoyotarockshsucks]

@ProGunTexan The ctsv used to beat the isf, but it stands no chance with the 2011 isf.

[ProGunTexan]

@etoyotarockshsucks Cool story.

[kalebisrael]

Too much review; not enough test. Great car.

[Henrylai07281995]

Y is Faster than the old one??

[loserwing]

@Henrylai07281995 if u have been listening they say that its because of the suspension was lightening on the front and hardened in the back there for i have no idea what that really does but i've been playing forza 3 for a while and drifing and i do drifting so im guessing it did have affect plus they put a limited slip differential which made it 8 seconds quicker im not sure but probably might have been mad more lighter than the old one

[rapandrnb]

i agree with Ross 1000% the ISF is more of c63 competitor !! i have been saying that for ages !!

[rapandrnb]

0-60 IN 4. FUCKING TWO SECONDS ??

THAT IS EPIC !! this might just be my new car !

[bphockey23]

nice exhaust... not

[gamelord]

4:25 That car makes him look so small lmao

[kbent88]

ISF= Insanely fast!

[shawnspeed3]

Very good review. I think instead of the M3, it's more like an Audi, C63 AMG, and CTS?

[destin325]

why buy a toyota for the price of a BMW? thats like buying wal mart sun glasses at an oakley price..yes, the amount of light blocked is about the same, the color is the same etc..but its still not a fit. Peal the labels off and give the cars to every day folks...even a layman can will the difference.

ps...iv got a BMW and am looking at hopping from a coup into a mini van and im steering way clear of toyota and heading for honda...at least one Japanese company gets it (quality)

[myroguepwns]

@destin325 Are u talking out of ur ass?

[destin325]

@myroguepwns

no not talking out of my ass.

I have owned a chevy, a toyota, a nissan, vw,. and a bimmer....i have a kid nearly 2 years old and i have another on the way.....i do love bmw but after test driving several cars....im going to have to go with honda on my next car..

let me know how your ass is since you think i just pulled some bs out of mine.

i live life in reality...not yotube vid vs youtube vid or google vs goole

[myroguepwns]

@destin325 U compared lexus to toyota, Theres a huge difference. I agree with u on the honda part they are awesome cars.

[destin325]

@myroguepwns

lexus is toyota just like acura is honda....same companies. Hollister and abercrombie, wal mart and sams club....just catering to different customers. Ill agree that Lexus is a "nicer" car when it comes to fit and luxury.

[yedigarovsex]

i hate the isf what a shit box. C63 AMG FTW

[myroguepwns]

@yedigarovsex Why the fuck did u come to this video?

[maluttr]

I would love to have the car, but I do not like the quad exhaust.

[Henrylai07281995]

Fuck M3,,,,+1....

IS F FTW

[T966ER]

It's....blue.

[effu68]

that toyota prii ad has to be the worst ever...i already knew it was gonna be prii...fuck u toyota

[TBustah]

I just wish they'd make a coupe already.

And they may. Word on the wind is that the next generation will be based on the FT-86's platform, which means they may offer a 2 door.

[koukiR32]

@TBustah They are going to make the IS-F two door version in the next gen. But for sure it will not be based on the FT86 concept chassis.

[TBustah]

@koukiR32 Whatever man, that's just what I heard. Nobody but Toyota can know for sure at this point, and even they might change their mind one way or another.

[parkingnazi7]

It's not carbon fiber appointed on the interior it's an aluminum knock off

[andreakatickles1]

I'll pick the isF over the square spongebob looking m3. Lexus' are sexy

[bojacub]

fuck M3, am a japanese cars fan, & this is my choice ISF for life

[hazemvirus]

@bojacub except the M3 is better, weather you like it or not its the best

[CommunistCanadian]

@bojacub wtf is wrong with you?

[kidfromcali22]

@bojacub I could not contain myself from calling out your stupidity. You are an idiot. That is all. Good day.

[2Kriss2Kross]

@bojacub Ignore the haters, I'd rather have an Infiniti G37 but this car is still better than any overrated German car. Japanese Cars for life!
