For 2010, the IS F added a Torsen limited-slip differential,[40] standard iPod/USB connectivity, Bluetooth streaming audio capability, casual language voice commands, and standard XM Satellite Radio.[40] For the 2011 model year the electric power steering system and suspension were revised, with tweaks to the front and rear spring rates, shock absorber dampening, rear bushings and rear camber angle.[41] An interior update included the addition of the Sport button to the steering wheel[42] and a redesign of the gauge cluster featuring a large central tachometer similar to the Lexus LFA. The exterior adds LED daytime running lights and according to Lexus the 2011 IS F can lap Fuji Speedway in 2 minutes, 3.4 seconds or nearly 2 seconds quicker than before.[43]

I have a bit of a soft spot for the IS350, so naturally I do like the ISF, as well. Though being offered exclusively in auto does kinda' suck.
