I'm not surprised! =)
Sounds like us ISx50 owners have the IS-F to thank for giving the IS line-up a huge bump on the performance spectrum, which I'm sure helped it get such an award!

They sure talked a lot about the IS-F only to go on to say the IS has great visibility and fuel economy but poor acceleration. Kinda funny because my gas mileage isn't great, I have poor visibility, but I have no qualms with the acceleration of the car. It's obvious to that it was the IS250 vs the 325 in this shootout.

vehicle interior
seats
climate control
visibility/driving safety

Additionally, the IS scores at or above the segment average in each of the other four categories.

The bottom three attributes of the IS are: rear passenger room; passing power at highway speeds; and performance during rapid acceleration from a stop.
