Notes:
This isn't the Lexus ISF. It is uglier, it is neither elegant nor sporty; it doesn't sound as good as the big V8 in the Lexus; and this car has no prestige to its name... but it is faster. Don't let the four doors fool you, once you get behind the wheel you'd think the back two doors were just for show. This car is a coupe in a business suit, sure it is an ugly one, but then I never looked good in a suit either. The 3.5L V6 in this has been tuned to produce 112bhp per liter, but what happens after the V6 is the trick part. Then the nearly 400hp is passed through the 8-speed gearbox on its way to the rear wheels. The result? It’s rather annoying. Downshifting 5 times for a corner gets old very fast, but this car is still a joy to drive though. Even if the 8 gears are gimmicky and the suspension is rather unforgiving it is still a very fun car.
