I always found it so interesting that a few 1st gen IS350s got into the 13.3-13.5@101-103 range yet when the second gen came out with the same motor and nearly the same curb weight, it was solidly a lower 14-second at 98-100mph car. The IS-F also had some range of acceleration differences with the later year cars appearing to be slightly slower. So strange.

I do love the IS-F and strongly considered it before getting my M235. At the time, I still wanted a manual. This new gen IS looks great and if they really do make an IS-F variant with the 5.0 V8, I'm likely very interested. Great power and sound in a reliable sedan is ideal for a DD.
