I am just checking if flipside posted somewhere else other than in this second gen IS forums. I stay up pretty late last night to read the review but I guess i am such a loser for doing that.

It is. I clearly remember I've seen somewhere the trunk space spec of the new IS to be 13.0 cu. ft. vs. GS's 12.7 cu. ft.. I don't recall where I saw that spec however.

EDIT: Ah...here it is.

I posted my article initially yesterday without annoucement and now it's been deleted from the archive. I will try to get it back up asap. The full article is completed as well as the photos. Video will need to be edited, rendered and converted to a format you guys can view here on the internet. Doing all this isn't going to happen overnight as I do have a regular job and other activites in my life that are far more important that this article. Quit with the complaining and whining. It's not like I get paid by you guys or anyone here to work on these projects. This is all voluntary work with what little free time I have for myself. I do this just so I can share my experiences with you all. Kinda makes me wonder if I should even bother anymore

Flipside maybe next time just keep quiet till your article and pics are done?
Instead of ramping up a thread with impatient people..

I can appreciate what he's doing. What's the difference whether you know about it before its done, or know about it WHEN its done? Either way, you don't get to see it any sooner.

Take your time Flip, better later than never man

To Flip. From one pinoy to a fellow pinoy, "okay lang pare"! I appreciate your effort in getting your review out. Take as much time as you like and never mind these impatient, ungrateful "bastos" peeps here.

Yes, what's the rush, since we' ve seen many reviews & many high quality pictures of the IS already . We should always appreciate people's voluntary contributions to this site. But I agree with you that maybe if flip didn't post about having uploaded the pictures already , then people will not be looking for them, & that just heightens people's anticipations & expectations . . .

I never posted that I had the pictures uploaded already. All I mentioned was I was uploading the photos as we speak. I never advertised the link just for the plain fact I was planning to unveil it all in the full article. Instead we have a few trigger happy and impatient individuals jumping the gun.
