Erm.... Lots and lots of folk who have experience driving a lot more machinery than I do have claimed otherwise. Not wanting to carry the thread OT, but unless you have a fair bit of miles under your belt behind the wheel of all the above and are willing to quantify that experience, I respectfully suggest you do research.
Can't argue with vulgar. One would say the RS4 and C63 are quite vulgar as well (as well as previous M3s.. I find the E92 rather....restrained).
p.s. You own an ST205 GT4. IS F ...Vulgar? Really?
p.p.s. for the millionth time, the fucking tips aren't plastic. They are steel.
and although I don't buy it, this is the explanation that was given to Lexus techs as to why they aren't connected:

During testing of the IS-F, they originally had a classic twin tip can design it but at high speeds the car became so unstable at high speeds because of the turbulence that developed in that area of the car the test drivers told the engineers that they needed to change something to make it more stable at higher speeds. So, through testing we now have the current configuration of quad stacked exhaust tips with diffuser panels around them and air foils under the trunk belly. This significantly changes the air flow in that area of the car and made it much more stable at high speeds
