Review: 2008 Lexus IS-F Take Two

Can we forget the BMW M3 for a moment? If you analyze the IS-F from a Stuttgartian perspective, the highly-horsed Lexus four-door is a loser. Looks, handling, pedigree, charisma, horsepower-- the IS-F is the Bimmer's bitch. Instead, imagine approaching the IS-F as I did, after test drivi...
