What?

LS500 hasn't been V8 for a while, it's 3.4L TT V6 and hybrid since the latest gen in 2017 iirc.

ISF had the 2UR GSE, but an earlier reiteration. 6800 rpm redline and lower compression without the D4S system (direct injection & port injection). The IS500 and LC500 has the latest version with the higher compression, 7400rpm redline and d4s system.

LC is the only one that gets the 10 speed auto. IS500 has the 8 speed.

You're in a damn war and you're complaining your computer lady is tai gup?!

Of course! She sounds like a whore rushing me to finish. Fuck you bitch! I paid for an hour!!!!

Mech 2 is a classy bitch, she knows how to please her man. She’s slow, methodical, and vaguely distant like she is here, but she’s also secretly hoping your LRM’s & SRM ammo would blow up causing a critical hit.

The only car worth a shit in their lineup right now is the LC. Thats the only remaining Lexus that's still a true Lexus (fuck the post 2024 ones with the tablet bullshit).

Yes, at $ 120k or $ 130k MSRP, it's expensive, but it feels even more expensive than that. Thats the old school lexus.
Built in Motomachi by Takumi craftsmen to a standard and not a price point. Thats old school lexus.
No compromises on material choices, even if it makes no sense (Cabon fibre reinforced plastic for majority of the panels). Thats old school lexus.
Will outlast you and your family due to simple and wholesome engineering. thats old school lexus.

Look at their covenant back in 1990 when they first started... look at the trash they produce nowadays.

Greatest hits
OG: LS400
SC400/300
SC430
GSF
ISF
RCF
IS300
IS350
IS500 <- meh, 8 speed kills it and boring suspension kills it, but if you can get it cheap, its worth it for the engine alone.
OG RX+ 2nd gen RX because they were all built in japan and they'll last forever
GX all v8's
LX all v8's
LC500 2020-2023 (no 2018/19's because of harsh suspension, no 2024+ because of that fugly tablet and ruined dash)

11+ ISF > IS500.
IS500 is soggy af.

That’s cuz it’s not a real f product. But like I said you buy it for the engine. It’s good enough to create some lawls and if you can get it around 40-50k it’s a bargain

Just get the F.

Even a Scat Pack is less soggy than IS500... and it comes with a sensical transmission.

Yeah but it’s way bigger. If you wanted a 3 series sized sedan with a v8 and reliable, this is about it. Plus it’s way higher revving and the exhaust note sounds decent. Just need to throw on some teins and add some bracing.

Dodge the ultimate dishonor, isn't this like American Nissan, if hobz gets a charger his family will think it's a V6 and he's declared bankruptcy

So much family trauma to unpack here…
