Mmmmm V8, 423bhp.
But it looks like the lovechild of a new MX5 and a BMW Z3, not too sure on the styling at all.

A Few companies now have competitors for the M3, Mercedes, Audi.... now Lexus....
..and despite the others having more power than the BMW, they all fail on the track.
I really hope they have done some work to the chassis, as the IS was always pants with sub 200bhp, never mind when you ask it to cope with more than double the std power.
Its in the same sort of price bracket as the M3 / RS4 / C63 - be interesting to see how it fairs on a track against an M3, though my initial thoughts are that it will be spanked...
I dont think its Lexus's answer to the M3, more an attempt at the M3

Don't like the styling, and id play it safe if I were getting summit like this and get an M3... Stuy speaks a lot of sense in the need to see it's actual ability rather then just paper figures.
Will be interesting though, the more competition, the better!
