There's a pretty major performance upgrade on the 2010 Lexus IS-F: a torsen-type limited-slip rear differential. Previously, the IS-F only had a simulated limited-slip diff effect via its VDIM system. And, we usually shut down the VDIM system completely, so it was a handful on the track. This should help with that. The LSD is standard equipment on the $58,635 2010 IS-F. Also, the 2010 IS-F gets updated...

Nothing is coming up next. 3. Lately, things seem stagnant . 4. Fantasy is one of my favorite 'hiding' places. 5. What happened cannot be told. Slightly embarrassing . 6. Full disclosure is not impossible! 7. And...

Speaking anonymously at a recent press event, an Audi official let us known the future of the B8 generation RS4 is facing a steep opposition. The Audi A5 and S5 models have been such strong sellers the decision was made to use that car as the sub-supercar entry and allow the A4 to top out with the newly available supercharged V6 S4. This move is also influenced by the Carpocalypse in that heavy-duty...

What does the F stand for? It's a question we were asked a lot during our year with the Lexus IS-F , which has F badges scattered liberally over the exterior and throughout the interior. Their quantity is perhaps not surprising, as F is what designates this as a special model, one that is quite different - and a lot more expensive - than the IS250/350 sedan on which it's based. You wouldn't want people...
