Though, it seems I might go against the consensus this time and roll with an IS350 AWD. I figured if I go this route and get a 2nd generation (before ~2nd half of 2013) for fairly cheap and do some fun mods on it over the winter. The IS F is great but it some Lexus owners are saying it's hard to see it full potential if your not on a track/straight away. The IS350 is "supposedly" a well rounded car for performance, luxury and fun factor. Otherwise I see it as a learning curb, in which my real toy [FRS] is still in the garage.
Love the discussion guys! Appreciate all the input too!
Agreed on that too! The small increase in performance and style might not be worth the $$ on the side. When I compared my insurance rates from the Camry to IS30 to ISF with the exact same coverages this is that I had:
Camry rate + $30 = IS350 insurance/month
OR
Camry rate + $67 = IS F insurance/month

The comment about the ISF pretty much applies to any super high performance sedan or coupe/sportscar (BMW M, MB AMG, Audi S, Caddy V, corvette, mustang, etc). It probably applies to even the IS350 or equivalent to a certain extent, because they typically have more power than you need.
Ive always wondered why the Lexus models need the AWD hump (or why it isn't in the passenger side)....im not even sure the other luxury brands have one or similar on their AWD models.
