Best Asian High-end Car/Supercar (2008)

[Kitdy]

Lexus IS-F...

A certified M3 Killer

What?

Clarkson tend to disagree though.

Along with everyone else. I read a C+D article and it finished last to the ageing RS4, along with C63 and M3 - the M3 winning of course. Lexus is simply not up to snuff in terms of performance. They got the luxury thing down well however. Also, I think the IS-F is by far the worst looking of the bunch.

[Bleeding Heart]

Well I like as well but I wouldn't call it an M3 killer.

And I would get a M3 over it actually.

I have to admit overall, the M3 is better because it rides better and handles better...

In a straight line though, that's a different story...

But yeah, the M3 is a very nice car too..

GT-R
im wondering if votes for the GTR are behind the IS-F because everyone expects it to win? lol or maybe MC has blackmailed everyone on UCP into keeping their mouth shut??

[Bleeding Heart]

Uhhhh... I'm not blackmailed, I just really prefer the IS-F over the GT-R...

[NSXType-R]

GT-R.

[Kooper]

GTR. Maybe the best car overall of 2008?

[Rockefella]

GTR. Maybe the best car overall of 2008?

That's my prediction.

I'll nominate the Lexus LS600h to be different. Is it a 2008 model?

Except that if you watch last week's Top Gear epsiode you'll notice that the Toyota isn't faster than the BMW.

Think so yes, but I might be lying.

[digitalcraft]

I'd disqualify the FQ because that's a EU variant even though the base car is JP.

[baddabang]

that's low end...
Let me be the first to nominate the Nissan GTR Monaro.

Nissan GTR

We consider a car that grenades it's own transmission while using its own launch control system as "High-end"?

[The_Canuck]

Acura TL....lol

You can also argue that a car can't be high-end unless it's in for servicing every 500 miles.

Acura TL....lol

Acura FTL?



How do Acura, Lexus, Infiniti and Scion count? Do they count as American or JP?
