Lexus ISF curiosity

I went and looked at one but did not drive it. Our local Lexus dealership sucks. Wal-Mart has more class. Luxobrand-fail in my book.

Just peeking in the window, it looked like a fairly nice sedan. Nice amenities, good looking interior. I don't consider it a sports car, though. It has too many seats/doors.

I would cross-shop it with the BMW M3, and CTS-V Sedan. To me, it loses out compared to these 2. Not nearly the appeal of Supercharged American muscle or high-winding German engineering.

Then again, I have not driven, ridden in, or bothered to even sit in one, it's just my initial impression upon seeing it and looking at the rather dismal performance numbers given the claimed horsepower.
