The 2010 Lexus IS F remains a sleeper, writes Scott Burgess at The Detroit News. Not because it cannot blow the doors off most sport sedans. It can. But it is a sleeper because it is still very early in its life, and no one associates Toyota Motor Corp. luxury brand with a true performance brand: They should. In fact, it’s an absolute hoot to drive. Click here for a photo. The first performance Lexus, introduced in 2008, is surgical in its precision. Every detail feels exact and plush. For this model year, Lexus has even bumped up its offerings, including things like the first direct shift eight-speed automatic, a Torsen limited slip differential, and connectivity for the driver’s iPod or other personal music device. The additions improve the car’s capabilities and its user friendliness, which make them exactly the kinds of things you want to add. Burgess says his Matador Red test vehicle might as well have come with neon signs that screamed, “Pull me over, officer,” as this car looks almost as fast as it goes. The IS F may be a sleeper right now. But eventually people will learn. They always do. Click here to read Burgess’ entire review of the Lexus IS F.
