3,958 lbs
16 city / 25 highway
Starting price $62,400
Can't decide b/t this, M4, or C63 replacement. Just really hard to ignore a NA V8 with that kind of power. Hmm....

To each their own but these numbers sound awful to me
-same engine as isf, with minimal revisions
-3958 lbs!!!! (4040 per motortrend article above)
-heavier than outgoing isf!!!
-500 lbs heavier than m3/4
-auto only, no manual
-auto only, no dct
-unattractive
-less performance tech than m3
-slower than m3 (not even close, 8 mph slower trap speed)
-redline not high, reducing benefit of n/a engine IMO

Edit : wow, that motortrend review was rough.... I have zero love for this car. Half ass effort from Lexus.
