Default Anybody watched the IS segment on Auto Mundial on Men's TV?

Somebody's gotta get his fact straight. He claimed the wood on the IS was "shiny plastic made to look like wood." He also went on about the "cheaper" plastics on the interior and how the IS looks like a Japanese luxury car compared to a BMW which looks like a BMW and a Mercedes that looks like a Mercedes (so I'm assuming he means the IS looks generic and has no brand identity).

Riight. Oh btw, the GTI was praised like god and the Ford Focus 2.0 CDi wasn't (well duh, who said it was a sports car like the GTI?).

He also called it the IS230. Not sure if that was an error or if he was comparing it to a Mercedes C-Class

Someone should contact them and correct his errors. He should retract the mistakes he made on-air, but I doubt he will.

It's an European show, you'd expect them to be biased towards their BMs and MBs.
