I remember looking at used 2008-2014 IS-F's thinking they weren't popular new so they must be a steal by now. Nope. They all go for $25,000-$35,000 even with 100K+ miles. I've come to the conclusion that one of the best used values in this segment (V8 sport sedan from mid 2000's) is the Jaguar XF Supercharged (470 hp) or XFR (510 hp). They're way more reliable than I thought with the only consistent "gremlins" being the start/stop button not working, and the electronic rotating gear selector failing to let you out of park (that's a real bitch though). No high performance sedan is 100% reliable but the powertrain is relatively bulletproof. What I'm saying is I'd trust the powertrain in an XFR more than an E60 M5 or Audi S6 which are ticking time bombs.

Looks better is subjective. It doesn't handle better than a BMW, that's a fact. It has a very weak exhaust for a V8 and that seems to be the general opinion. Mercedes and BMW sound better. And it isn't built better as BMW and Mercedes are the standard for this class of vehicle. Essentially all it has is reputation of reliability, yet pretty much any car purchased today in this series is going to last you five years and that's generally when people get new cars anyways. If you're weight it beyond five years you're looking at a different demographic entirely as in people who cannot afford this car when it first comes out. That's an entirely different topic.

@@jonathannavarro6679 Everything after your first 2 sentences are pure crap. It's a luxury sedan, not even an M/AMG one, so yeah, its exhaust is not going to sound like an AMG. Sound is also subjective, similar to look, but a NA V8 sounds uniquely different to a turbo V8 or turbo I6, that's a fact. In this respect, you also left out engine/power delivery feel, the smoothness of which from a NA V8 is largely accepted as more desirable. You can't say it's not built better than its German competitors, then say it's only got reliability going for it. Being built better literally means it's less likely to fall apart. If you think any car these days will last you 5 years issue free, especially performance vehicles like these, you really haven't spent enough time around people who do own these vehicles. They are much better than what we've seen in the past 20-30 years, no doubt. But it's not better than Lexus. Having your repairs covered under warranty is NOT the same as not having issues at all. People who keep cars for longer than 5 years being a different demographic? Lol, half the people who buy these cars new do it to flex, and can't afford one unless they take out a fat loan, or lease it. For a car like Lexus, the longer you keep it, the cheaper it is to own. This is something people who are financially literate think out. People who don't give a shit about running costs (a direct correlation of reliability) are usually the ones who piss money away to flex. This is not to say rich people aren't part of the demographic, but what I'm trying to say is, you bringing this up is a non-argument.

@Robert this isn't meant to be a very practical car. It's specifically a comfy V8 cruiser with Torsen limited slip for ludicrous drifting.. bc the engines are ancient they're super reliable

@Robert Why does it need AWD? Most buyers worldwide don't buy AWD cars, and many performance-car buyers prefer RWD. Yeah, if you live in central Manitoba or up a mountain in Montana AWD would be a big attraction, but most people live where roads are plowed, or there is little or no snow.

Mark, I would like to address your notion that folks who are looking for something to compete with any BMW M series will be disappointed in this new IS500. News flash... the vast majority of us Lexus owners do not purchase their vehicles to track them or to somehow allow for the same driving dynamics as other BMWs or any other German product. The new IS500 was ONLY designed for those folks here in North America who just want a little more of a power curve with the accompanying suspension dynamics that you so well described. As a Lexus owner yourself, your final thought about reliability is WHY any Lexus owner would purchase this new IS. And, reliability beats the pants ofF ANY OTHER vehicle out there, including your beloved German brands.

Obviously this isn't competing with a real M car. Its not a full F car, and the pricing reflects that. This competes more with like a 340i M sport package. And thats perfectly fine

I think that IS 500 worth every bit of it's price tag. The car looks stunning, especially in this red color. The fun factor is huge and I can care less about latest gizmos and gadgets. Great sound from naturally aspirated V8 and Lexus legendary reliability is something you CAN NOT find in its German competitors these days. Build in Japan is simply the best. Their dealer network is awesome too. Good to mention that this car will maintain its resale value better than any other car in its class. Hats down for Lexus offering this car on the market👍
