Good PS skills, but the car is not attractive at all, afaic.

I hope to God it doesn't look anything like that. That looks awful.. but that's what you get when you shop an IS-F body kit on a GS.

Nice photoshop work though.

Guys, I didn't do this photoshop! <--- In case you're wondering.

What I don't like about the IS-F and this GS-F photoshop is the fact that it looks so RICEBOYish. The GS tends to be bought by people whom I would classify as conservative and the body kit on the IS-F is totally "teen-rice" (same thing on this GS photoshop). The IS-F will probably be attracting younger and sportier buyers anyway and they might actually like this.

Personally, I don't like the IS-F body kit at all. The stock IS looks better. Guess they'll be attacting a lot of ex-Honda Civic Type-R VTEC Powered by Mugen owners eh?

Bruce

We know


I agree, The IS-F body kit really does look overdone and ricey..(in particular that ridiculous side vent)

Although I'm still interested to see what it looks like IRL.

I didn't think it was possible to make the GS any uglier than it already is, but low and behold it has been done.

Mr. M

Doesn't look aggressive at all. If anything, to make this car sporty-looking would be very difficult indeed.

I don't even think we'll see the IS-F in Europe. It looks like a USA only car.

Bruce

I naturally assumed Europe would see the IS-F..but It wouldn't suprise if they didn't send it there (like the IS350).

I think the reason neither are sent there is because Lexus doesn't feel they can penetrate the performance market (which in reality is probably true, especially with the likes of BMW, Mercedes, etc) so they just stay in the American market which they've obviously made a great impression on.

Because of how Lexus has the GS450h positioned, I wouldn't expect an F-model until the vehicle's next generation. At this moment, Lexus is marketing Hybrid as range-toppers that are a marriage of performance and ecological friendliness. The introduction of the F-line of cars makes things even more difficult from a marketing point of view.
