Lexus today announced that the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the all-new 2008 IS F high-performance sport sedan will start at $56,000. Add the processing and handling fee of $765 though, and you’ll be all set at $56,765 which is approx. €38,390 for our European friends. The IS F, which will compete against sport sedans like the BMW M3, Cadillac CTS-V, Audi RS4 and the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG, is fitted with a 416 HP 5.0-liter V8 engine that launches it from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.6 seconds. -Continued
