The idea that muscle cars are some uniquely American creation is a bunch of automotive jingoism. Taking a pleasant car, shoving a great honking engine under the hood, and not changing much else before sending it out to amuse the masses is an idea nearly as old as the car itself.

And the latest muscle car doesn't hail from Detroit or Germany, but from Japan. Meet the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance, exactly what you didn't expect from Toyota's luxury brand. See, ever since Lexus discontinued the IS F, fans have clamored for a revival of the first F car. Lexus gave us the Predator-faced RC F and the dearly departed GS F in the intervening years, but the one people really wanted, a new IS F, never appeared. And it's still not here, at least by name. Instead, the first V8-powered IS in nearly a decade carries the F Sport Performance name and it’s more muscle car than sports sedan.

A vehicle's verdict is relative only to its own segment and not the new vehicle market as a whole
