So, I saw a commercial for the new Lexus ISF V8 400+ car...looks like the answer to the new Evo X and even the new M3.

Anyways, I'm curious to know how the X would stand up to such a beefy car (ISF)

I understand they are different beasts, but to be honest, after watching a few videos of the ISF, it doesn't look like it handles quite as well as the X. The X seems more agile.

your thoughts?

 

well i dont know too much about the isf... but i know it will be better then the evo top end...but then again quite a few performance cars are...as for handling... im sure its good...but not evo good

 

Yes, I consider the EVO all Sport, while the Lexus of course is Luxury Sport...and it looks to be a pretty damn big car to be honest with you. And that V8 must be a gas eater...like big time.

People have reported getting as much as 30mpg on the Evo X. Not bad.

 

It will def. outperform the stock evo X in the top. Lexus sent the head work to Yamaha. Enough said.

 

Actually the IS is quite the opposite. It's a tiny car, the x looks bigger. Just sit in/look at one and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

 

what do you mean by top end? The lexus peaks higher?
But, with a few mods and a good tune, the X could probably hang with it eh?

LOL - I just watched that one. Was pretty good...the car sounds beefy and looks great.

I suppose if I was in the market for a Luxury sports car that would be the one...I trust Toyota/Lexus over BMW.

The Evo X just looks more sport and looks more fun to be honest. Not to mention the sound of a turbo going....mmmm....

 

i am interested in a comparison between the isf and the M3. im sure one of the car magazines will do a first drive comparison soon, if they havent already

 

Hrm, well...exactly what category does the M3 and ISF fit in to?

EVO seems to be in a different one.

 

I saw one at HIN in austin:

 

Its bigger in every aspect except height which the Evo stands a bit higher.

ISF
----
Length (in/mm) 183.5 / 4660
Width (in/mm) 71.5 / 1815
Height (unloaded) (in/mm) 55.7 / 1415
Wheelbase (in/mm) 107.5 / 2730

Evo
----
Length (in./mm): 177.0 / 4495
Width (in./mm): 71.3 / 1810
Height (in./mm): 58.3 / 1480
Wheelbase (in./mm): 104.3 / 2650

 

IS F , is in the 50k range while the Evo X is 30k...

 

nuff said.

 

i don't mind a isF. lol
