I spend a week with the 2022 Lexus IS500 F Sport Performance and bask in the fun of what is likely the last V8-powered luxury sport sedan. And it's not just an V8, it's a glorious-sounding screamer of a V8 that's also reliable. The rest of the IS500 is also pretty good, with great handling and comfort. It might not be the animal that the Dodge Charger is, but if you're looking for a more mature V8 sedan, the IS 500 is it. And with a starting price around $57,000 and this one's fully-loaded as-tested price of $62,670, it's also a great bargain considering the performance you get. What do you think about the Lexus IS500? Thanks to Lexus for providing this car to review!
