At least, for the project were thrown all forces, which the company has a Toyota.

There is undoubtedly ample justification for that sentiment elsewhere in the Lexus lineup, but when it comes to the IS-F, things are different.

This car has something almost no other Lexus I’ve ever driven has exhibited in any perceptible degree: personality. Far from the bland and obeisant cars found elsewhere in the lineup – even bearing the IS tag – the raucous and bawdy IS-F is the real black sheep of the flock.
