LMAO!!! The Camaro weighs MORE than the IS-F.

Plus considering that MOTOR TREND got a 12.7 @113.4 shows that there is tons more in the car.

Tons more?? Sounds like a ringer, just like all the other japanese "performance" cars that the manufacturers send out to the mags.

Edmunds only got a 13.2 @ 109 in their IS-F.

Better yet, instead of comparing it to a car that is less than half its price, compare it to the CTS-V - which pummels the IS-F in every category, especially styling - and costs the same amount.

The Camaros got more power, handles better, and weighs less. Not to mention it has a proper manual transmission, unlike the Lexus.

The IS-Fail has got to be one of the ugliest 4 door cars I've seen in a long time. Look at the picture in the first post of this thread, the car looks out of proportion. Love the fake exhaust outlets too, for $65,000 Toyota gives you garbage.
you have no idea what you're talking about do you?
PROPER transmission? weighs less? handles better?
that is actually a great car and none of what you just said was true.
your blind loyalty and factless comments don't make much sense, sorry. next time you post do your research.

The IS-F uses an 8 speed torque converter automatic. No manual is offered, because Toyota can't figure out how to build a manual trans that can properly support 400+HP.

Weight is very similar. You wouldn't notice a difference driving the 2 cars, its less than 100lbs.

Great car?? Haha, and I bet you believe all the other crap that Toyota feeds you too. If I remember correctly, the most recent award Toyota won was for "Most Boring Car in America".

1. the camaro doesnt handle better than the is-f.
2. the is-f is not heavier than the camaro.
3. the is-f is faster to the 1/4 than the camaro.
4. the transmission is more advanced than what ford or chevy have to offer at the moment.

i will keep it in that format instead of getting into your blind loyalty just stick to the facts.

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Nope, ignorance, I never said that.

There are plenty of good cars besides GM. That includes Ford, Chrysler, and man European cars such as BMW and Mercedes.

Its called sticking an extra set of planetaries in the tailshaft of the transmission, there is nothing advanced about that.

GM's 6L90E is a much stronger trans than anything Toyota makes.

And how about comparing the IS-F to a car in its price range?? CTS-V, perhaps?? The Camaro is less than HALF of what the IS-F costs.

LOL where did I ever say any of that??

Never have I called Lambo, BMW, Bugatti, Ferarri, Masserati, or Ford crap. They all build many excellent vehicles.

As for Toyota and Honda, yes they built crap.

Ease up. Just like some are allowed to like every car under the sun like a 'good' little boy (or girl), some of us are allowed to pick and choose the vehicles we like. Neither group is right or wrong, and I say that as a 100% truth. Lay off the "Kool-aid", and "blind loyalty" comments, please....it's getting old.

Conversely, the OP made his decision, no need to keep bashing and bashing...there's a limit to 'criticism'.
