The IS is a sharp car. Which model (engine) did you get?
Best of luck with the Lexus. Maybe the new owner of your Kizashi will join up here. :lol:

Which engine? 2.5 or 3.5? Both are V6. I imagine you got RWD instead of AWD given you live in FL.

IS F seems to no longer mean 5.0L V8? :( Good luck with the new car though!

Yes, I think it's a case of "IS 250 F Sport" or "IS 350 F Sport" = V6 and plain "IS F" = V8. (At least that's the case in Australia.)

Very confusing....

Same in the US. Lexus just did what the Germans do. They carried over some labels and accessories from their performance line to their more tame models. Much like you can get AMG wheels on a Benz E350 or S Line trim on an Audi A4. Lexus gave the IS F Sport models more aggressive styling that was previous seen in the IS F.
The IS F is still available as a $64K 416 HP monster.
