    Acura TLX Type S vs. Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance

    WTH is "Market Adjust"? Is it just dealer markup dressed up to sound legitimate?

    Acura TLX Type S vs. Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance

    Wow that looks massive compared to the ES... I like the ES style much better.

    Mazda keeps filling patents for a sports car chassis

    They're in a tough spot for sure but if the rumors are true, their partnership with Lexus/Toyota may be why they are pushing this. Lexus/Toyota gets Mazda to build a FR platform with new ICEs that Lexus/Toyota doesn't have to spend too much R&D money on but will have access to (*cough*Supra)...

    2nd Generation (2022+) Lexus NX Megathread (NX 200, 250, 350, 350h and 450h+)

    They should have at least put that steering wheel in the 4IS...you know, to make it look "different" from the 3IS... But the NX is a nice evolution from the last model which I loved.

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    Well... I guess I am not getting the 3.5/4IS, at least not right now. Maybe when the IS500 comes out. Yesterday I took delivery of another car I have loved for years and perhaps the only non Toyota car I would buy again. A 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF GT. This car is so awesome to drive. And it's...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    I drive a 2010 2IS so the interior would be new to me 😀 and I have stated it here before this should have been the 3IS. It just looks like the natural evolution of the 2is...i want one so bad (just needs 50+ more HP and I'm in! )... 😩

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    The refresh of the G70 looks good! But I still get the impression that it's trying way too hard (subjective I know)... They do have better powertrains which is a huge factor and Lexus is kinda mauling it in in that category. That is, unless the IS500 is real...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    My dealer doesn't have em yet... I built and priced an is350 it came out to $55k. Performance wise is comparable to, albeit a little faster than the TLX A spec 4 cyl for $46k and the Type S is coming around soon. Still holding out hope for the "IS500" or I'm looking at something else. Since I...

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    We do engine/tranny swaps in the old school Toyota scene all the time. Mine has a more "traditional" swap in my 74 Celica but a bunch of people do all the time including the Beams 3SGE (IS200/Altezza), 2JZ and even the UZ V8s with having to modify the tranny tunnel... All this done at home or at...

    I prefer the tan interior too. Red is "racy" but agreed a tad overdone. I wish the tan were available in the F sport. Or IF they make a stronger engine model.

    Ummm... What does "TV" mean? 🤔 I've tried looking online and it keeps referencing television commercials for cars 😔 Edit: nevermind! I think I figured it out! Torque Vectoring?

    2021 Lexus IS Megathread

    I have a 1974 Celica and active in the 1st Gen celica scene as well as other older Toyotas...if they can cram a 2JZ or a 2UR or a LS into one of those, I'm sure lexus can figure out a way to get the V35A or a 2UR in the new IS... No?

    Dai Yoshihara was in the video and was able to drive the car on the track. I left a comment on his IG and asked how the car drove. Specifically about the handling changes vs the 3IS and his opinion on its power. He replied "Yes for sure! Big Improvements. (re:handling) but it did feel...
