Once I laid eyes on the car, I was instantly hooked. I would love a 2008 ISF Black or Blue. I have been shopping around for about a year now. I am currently working overseeas probably wont purchase until I return when I get back, next summer, unless I find a great deal.
I am from New England and just hesitate to drive this around in the winter time.
Hopefully with some good snow tires it should take care of that problem.

I am interested in the 08 Audi S5 also, due to it AWD system. But the Lexus has way more HP and seems to have more bells and whistles.
Whats the average costs of upkeep maintenance on the ISF every year?

Thank you for all your input!

Thank you guys much! How does it handle in Snow mode in Snow? What does snow mode really do?, does it start you in a higher gear?

phlabrasca,
Thanks for the great post. Guess I'm gonna have to drive them to find out.
The reason I want a car like this, is because I had a 95 Mustang 5.0 about 350 hp, and I loved it, the sound was amazing, it set off car alarms, flow-master dumps right below the seat, and it was super ton of torque. Then I went from a Mustang to a non-turbo Saturn sky, and it was a looker car, but I hated the 4 cylinder engine, only had power in really 1st and 2nd gear. The convertible option was nice but with the convertible up, it felt very cramped in there. So I believe I would get best of both world, power/performance, and the car looks amazing with the ISF.

need opionion

Ok I got approved for a Black 08 Lexus ISF @ $38,800, with 22 miles on her, but I have to put 20K down, which I'm fine with.(credit not so good)
I am currently oversees and wont be home till April to drive her, but for about a month before I head back. What shall I do?, wait till next tear to pick a IS-F up, when the prices come down a little, but I'm sure they are gonna have more miles on them 1 year from now.

Does the 2008 models come with the smart card option? Thanks.
