I own a IS500 launch Edition. Sold my 2021 STI for it. Man I love this car V8 rwd ftw! Major props to Toyota for making a N/A V8 sedan.

First the GR Yaris and now this .. the last hurrah of ICE! Such a shame we’ll never see cars like this again

I've always loved Lexus' center stacks. Everything just looks so mechanical and high quality.

As a fellow “IS Expert”, I must say you guys were part of the reason I fell in love with the IS. Still on the IS350 stage at the moment but I do plan on upgrading to the F. Great video, I was waiting patiently for this one!

NA gorgeous japanese v8, RWD, LSD, awesome gauges, comfortable seats and ride, reliable drivetrain, 4 seats, touch screen infotainment w carplay, amazing exterior styling, quality interior.

Such an amazing DD.

Will always be my favorite brand no matter what people say

[jayhooper]

That straight piped IS-F sounded amazing.

Man Toyota is on a roll they’re bringing absolute Ws🔥

This is part of the "No more boring cars" lineup from Toyota.

I just recently purchased an ISF and I absolutely love mine and it's so good to see Toyota/ Lexus give you reliable power even if these engines are relatively older

[mskiller]

Thank you guys for knowing to warm up the transmission first! Virtually no lag. Other reviewers complain of "laggy manual shifting" but don't bother warming it up..

Just recently bought a 2008 ISF matador red mica black roof...with 55k miles...love that car..condition is imaculate..

Owned a 2015 RCF for 3 years. Sold it summer of 2021 for more than I bought it. I regret selling so much as it was the best car I’ve ever owned. When the 5.0 is gone we are going to with more of these were built and bought. Mine had an rr-racing exhaust on it which sounded amazing. I have a track day vid from Road America on my channel.

Loved the positivity and love of the brand in this video. This GREY IS500 looks so well. We don't get in ( UK ); Boo

[Zarrex]

The ISF review was the first video I watched of yours, and for the past 3 years I've owned my red ISF. Still in love with it as much as the day I bought it, very glad I decided to go for it back then because like you said, 3 years and 20k+ miles later, it's probably worth more than what I paid for it

[DownshiftPass]

Awesome review!!! This car is on my short list! I'm already saving the manuals, and I'd love to have a V8 in the stable as well! Kudos to Lexus for this! I also agree with Jakub, the IS is a perfect balance for a sporty sedan, I said the same thing for my IS350 review. I was SO impressed by it!

[JimStepsride]

Love this car just ordered one, not a fan of turbos on a DD. This was perfect

[TeksTherapy]

Just found out about this car this weekend! NOW I NEED TO BUY ONE! 😍

These will be the next Japanese unicorns.. the F line ups are just really under appreciated as everyone just compares them via performance to their competition. Yes they are not faster than the competitors but they are fast enough and unique.
