It's all relative to what you compare to. Nobody's driven or ridden in the new Lexus yet so it's all speculation now. As I've said many times before, the ride in my C55 can be quite harsh and it DOES handle very well compared to the E46 M3 (as you know by now ). But compared to the E46 M3, it is definitely more comfortable.

But I think you're likely going to be right in that the IS-F will be more of a C63 competitior. However, it is unlikely the IS-F will be a significant threat in terms of acceleration if the next C63 gets a detuned 6.2L V8 making about 478-480HP.

Time will tell.
