Hey all, firstly wanted to thank all you guys for the positive readings on making my IS F decision the right one!
Secondly, wanted to introduce myself as an Aussie IS F owner. Given the car was only released here in Nov 08 and only have access to limited numbers coming to the country (10 a month) I feel very very lucky!
I've been in the car for three months now and still can't wipe the smile off my face. Other than just being a great motor car that so far has exceeded all my expectations, it seems to be the little things that make me smile most, things like:
- spying the kids in their Evos and WRXs snapping photos with their camera phones
- the girlfriend of an M3 convertible owner parked beside me telling her man how much hotter the Lexus looks.
- Lexus' unsurpassed customer service
- Going to the local BMW dealer (checking out an X6) and coming back to the IS F to find half a dozen BMW service guys with their faces pressed to the windows.
- The be all end all marriage of performance, looks and luxury appointments.
Just don't ask us Aussies about the price (damn importation duties, sales tax and luxury car taxes).
Will post photos soon.
