I haven't even sat in an IS-F, but if it's anything like the IS350, I don't see it as an upgrade to the 370Z. I drove an IS350 before the Z, and it was a snoozefest. Horrible automatic, boring interior, boring sounds, boring acceleration. It was a solid and well made car, but IMO Lexus builds really nice cars for people who don't really care about cars or driving. The Z is a superior driver's car by a long shot compared to the IS350, although comparing a sports car to a luxury compact sedan that conclusion is fairly obvious.

Clarkson liked the IS-F on Top Gear, but said that the M3 was a superior car. Having driven an IS350 and multiple M3's, I think that's probably accurate.
