There hasn't been an IS-F in years. The LS500 has the V35a TTv6.

Because of the incredibly high expectations, they were going to complain about anything and everything about the car so they were forced to guess the lesser of two evils on literally every decision. The problem is that the public hears their decisions years after they were made when it is too late to go back on it. They asked Supra owners what they wanted and they said an inline 6 was the most important, so they gave them just that. Could there have been better decisions made? Absolutely, hindsight is 20/20. But that doesn't mean the decisions made were bad decisions by any means.
