The newest luxury cars from Lexus offer small size and big power. The 2011 IS F feels more like a sports car than a luxury car, but it is definitely still a Lexus at heart. The leather-trimmed seats and host of luxury amenities like rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control with pollen filter and smog sensor remind you of this fact as soon as you take a seat inside.

The IS F is the only smaller Lexus sedan to offer a 416 horsepower, 5-liter V-8 that can rocket from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds. A limited slip differential helps to manage all of the power to the rear wheels and racing-style Brembo brakes do a great job of slowing the car quickly. The 19 inch wheels are a dark, smoky tone which gives it more of a sporty look as well.
