Why should I also consider these? X

The Lexus IS-F competes on performance and price directly with the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and the BMW M3 sedan.

The Benz C63 has a tad more interior room, while the BMW M3 gets a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission later in the year.

The M3 also is offered in coupe and convertible versions.

The Audi RS4 is the only car in this group to offer all-wheel drive, but its pricetag is also substantially higher.
