LX is insane... for $89000 all in it's tough to beat, the truck is soo smooth and soo soft it feels like an LS sedan. It was great to compare it to other SUV's on an offroad course, you really see how bad some SUV's are.

Maxboost, you know she wants the white leather.. its insane.. and white carbon interior... so hot.

what's the MSRP for the IS-F?

Hasn't been released yet.. I'm hoping mid to high 60's after freight/pdi etc.

[gpomp]

how will the MSRP compare with the M3 and C63??

Im not sure.. BMW isnt priced very well in the Canadian market compared to the US nor is MB. The c63 will be quite a bit more than the isf/m3 as all AMG's usually are, curious to see how bmw will handle the m3.

what other SUVs were there to compete? Was Subaru's Tribeca one of the competition? I am asking because I always wonder which companies' AWD system would standup to Subaru's system in harsh terrain environment.

white carbon interior?!?!?!?!!?!!?:eek: i thought only the engine cover is white carbon ... damn!!

Wow im leaning towards a Lexus so bad!! Ahh the last car is sexy!

Tribeca is 1/2 the price of the LX as far as I know so no it was not included.. basically another in the $75000 and up price range.

Nice pics.

That side view of the IS-F looks better than previous pics I've seen for some reason. It's like it's better proportioned than previous pre-production models.

:thumbsup:

That is cool you guys got to actually 'off road' the SUV's. My boss has owned 8 X5's and last fall he was in Europe and got to go on a Range Rover owned course with a supercharged Range Rover and then on a race track with the same truck and he was so impressed he bought one the week he got back to Edmonton.
