It may be a hard-hitting competitor against German rivals the more famous, but the Lexus IS-F remains a leftfield choice for those in the market for high-performance luxury four-door. 

It seems to kill luxury features, very competitive prices and a reputation for unwavering reliability is not enough for Japanese makers to muscle in on the European game. 

Instead, what we find on the streets of Australia is the relative scarcity of the Lexus IS-F models as compared to the popular BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. 

Superior value proposition of Lexus there that can sniff. Price at $ 126.300 (plus on-road costs) IS-F cutting M3 Coupe (BMW no longer produce a four-door version) and the C63 AMG with $ 28,800 and $ 28,600, respectively. 

Lexus case all the more convincing when you consider the only item on the IS-F is a selection list box delete for electrically operated sunroof - much of the list without additional expensive counterparts sold by his German. 

Visually, the IS-F bodybuilding kit with bulging wheelarches and exhaust double-decker seems pretty much unchanged, but Lexus has constantly apply updates and fixes various super-sedan since its launch in 2008.
