Connie C. Attorney
Initial Response: "Really nice; very ergonomic. I learned how to drive in a Lexus and this is very comfortable. In general, this seems to be a more masculine build than the IS/GS platforms and looks very fast. I love the interior. The styling seems to infuse European styling-almost Swedish or German-which helps to make it stand out more. It's not your typical Lexus."
If A Guy Picked You Up In The IS-F Versus A Honda Civic, Would IT Make A Difference? "It wouldn't make a difference, but if he picked me up in this, we could have more conversation because of it."
Overall Opinion: "For the price, it's kind of high. I kind of prefer an SUV as a daily commuter."

Initial Response: "It's difficult to gauge what kind of car this is because the color is a lot flashier than anything I would buy. It's sleek and sporty, but it doesn't look much different than the regular IS. Just sitting in it, this feels like more of a guy's car."
If A Guy Picked You Up In The Is-F Versus A Honda Civic, Would It Make A Difference? "I don't tie a car to anyone."
Overall Opinion: "knowing that this packs a v8 and 400hp, I have to say that the IS-F isn't for me; it's just too much. I don't need that kind of car because it doesn't suit my needs or my personality. But I would get one of these before an m3 because I hate German cars. Just being honest!"

Initial Response: "honestly, I think it looks like a G35. I like the exterior; I've always liked the way Lexus cars look. You know how some of them look like a camry? This one doesn't. The interior is great, too."
If A Guy Was Driving This, Would You Do A Double Take? "I like the car; I don't think this would make the guy look any better. The car stands out enough for me to want to take a double look at the car. maybe not the color!"
Overall Opinion: "At $66k, I think this car is too much for me. I think this would be a better buy for a girl than an m3, except for the convertible!"

Initial Response: "well, I think the car seamlessly fuses high performance with luxury. This car is too much like a regular sedan and girls won't get it (or me).
Overall Opinion: This is more likely to turn the head of a real hardcore driver. Yes, precisely. don't get any female attention at all. Thanks."

Initial Response: "I like the car, but it's a total dude's car. I like the rear of it a lot, but the front looks too big. Did they try to fit a big engine in too small of a body shape?"
If A Guy Picked You Up In The Is-F Versus A Honda Civic, Would It Make A Difference? "If I saw a guy driving this car, I would say that he likes driving a nice car, that he can afford it and that he cares about the way he looks."
Overall Opinion: "I think the color is a bit flashy, but most guys who would get this car would like that, right? I would get it in black, however."
