IS 500 F SPORT Performance Megathread

People here tried making them feel warm so they could take off their coat, but it looks like we gotta blow it off instead.

If you don't get this reference, it's Aesop's Fables of the wind and the sun. This time though, the Lexus execs don't seem to get the clue so people have to tell them outright.

Perhaps y'all can lure some execs and then harass the hell out of them for getting rid of the GS and F products.

Just kidding.

Ok not really, they deserve a good ass-whooping.

MagX is again indicating that the IS refresh is happening this year with the V8 staying?. It also mentions that the LC is also going to get a new radiator grill maybe similar to the pictured IS. The IS is also rumored to get optional brembo brakes.
