Worst comparison ever!!! What's with the 0-62mph times(100km) And these are just horrible drivers to be the only reviewers to achieve anything remotely close to those numbers.

@n8neiTen8n hey!! you mind-reader !

I hate auto123, they have no idea when reviewing cars. 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds in the IS-F?!?! Come on, other reviewers have shown this car is capable of 0-62mp/h in 4.4-4.6 seconds, that's almost 2 to 1.5 second difference. Go review granny cars because clearly you don't know how to drive fast cars.

@graybogey He changed from 1'st to 2'nd in the M3 at 50km/h ... odd, mine does 70 km/h in 1'st (DCT) might not be used to high rev, or did not pay attention to the gear change light, but yeah, across the line, horrible 0-100.

I do like the seat in C63, but yeah they are a bit 'tight' and without width adjustment (so do not be big/heavy). I love the M3 internal (very 'technical' look), but I guess that's a taste (I do like Audi int. as well, very similar). And iDrive ... being tech. I LOVE it...

[graybogey]

you guys definately can't drive

Only good thing in lexus is the RWD. Nothing more, cause it's ugly, engine and gearbox are poor, details are from toyota (...) Mercedes is much better made, but it still have an automatic gearbox. The one and only perfect sportscar in this class is an M3. It's perfect in every the way - manual, 4.0L, V8, 420PS, 400Nm, RWD, beautiful shape - and the thing it's similar to the 3-series is a really good thing - other drivers cannot be sure what car overtakes them so fast every time ;]

@8motion welll dude i think the ISF has the best interior out of this 3 my personal opinion

Terrible review! Certainly, a competent group of reviewers would scoff at the notion of a C63 besting an M3. I have owned E36, E46 E92 M3's and only recently have purchased a C63 AMG. And, as such, I feel I have adequate knowledge to decree that the two cars aren't even in the same league. The C63 relies on raw power and lacks the pristine handling and driver experience that the M3 has become legendary for.

i wish lexus would bring back the inline six 2JZGTE and put it in the is with a 6 speed trans.
