Been looking at "performance" sedans for a bit since I'm in the market for a new car. Looking for something upscale so charger and SS are out.

Really like the IS-F. Heard the 2011 models are the way to go since they reworked the suspension.

>rwd
>400+ hp V8
>nipponese reliability
>solid transmission
>god tier interior

Thoughts? Budget is $35k

Correct. They not only revised the suspension, but they also added a Torsen LSD and tweaked the steering. The upgrades made the car every bit as quick as the M3 at the time.

>not even the new body style

Well I guess if you like your dashboard melted, your transmission autotragic and brakes every 15k

Why not get an altezza
>>
>>16050922
It's the last good Lexus, get it.

You'll never be able to tune the engine though so forget about that

This. Lexus v8s have been a tuning nightmare ever since 1998. Fuck em. Enjoy getting roasted by common camaros and mustangs and not being able to do anything about it
>>
>>16050922
I'd probably get one if I had the money
>>
>>16053462
Might as well spend that money on an IS300/SC300/(GS300?) if you're set on a Lexus and use the extra money to turbocharge the 2JZ-GE and repair the interior

I like the new styling of the new IS 350 but there is no F model and the interior is awful on it. The 2nd gen IS had a much better interior set up

The altezza comes with a shitty 5 speed slush box and will get destroyed by literally every modern car on the road.

>jap reliability

That doesnt apply to japanese performance cars
>>
>>16055737
It has the naturally aspirated V8 and transmission pulled from the LS600. Its not like they threw in a high strung twin turbo six
>>
What the FUCK is going on with this engine?
