I would love to see the reaction of wannabe's on Autospies forum and the excuses they make. 
LOL @ mods. Sorry, about the language. I got a little excited there for a min!

ItsSoFire,
Very nice video! Thanks for the link!
Cornellian,
No matter how well the IS-F does against the competition, the brand loyalists will still dismiss it. People will buy whatever will make them happy. The ones who feel the need to continue to bash other brands are probably not satisfied with what they have and just want to drag you in.
OK, stepping off the soapbox now.

I dont know though, that review seemed a little biased. It seemed more like a IS-F promotional review than a true review. I dont know how reputable that guy is so I'm just saying what I felt after watching that.
btw -- did anyone notice the M3 was slowest of the pack in the straight line up to a certain speed?

Evidently, a certified driver for AMCI.
I thought this was probably one of the best reviews yet, if for no other reason than the eye candy and the sound track. Someone mentioned that it seemed bias, but I don't think so as in the end they declare the IS-F as a legitimate contender, not the king. I think they were generally reviewing the IS-F with the other two present for comparison, as opposed to a three way shootout.
Great video

P.S. the acceleration and braking tests were quite a victory for the IS-F. I do wonder if the other two didn't start braking towards the end of the straight away because the IS-F BLEW past both of them at the end, a bit faster than I thought it should.

^^^ Yes, I also don't think this was biased or was a promo as others' have mentioned. Because at the end, he says they're ALL good candidates for someone who is looking to buy a car in this segment, instead of just one, which is what biased magazines would have done. It is hard to measure and compare different cars and say whose #1, 2, ... etc because everyone has different needs, style of driving, and opinions. All this guy said was that they're all good in their own ways and the competition is fierce. I don't know if he exactly said that but, that's what I got out of it, just IMO.
So, overall, the IS-F CAN hold it's ground even if the others' have the so-called "Prestige and Heritage" BS...

I wonder what method they used to ensure time and position synchronization between the 3 cars when they performed the braking test, as the M3 appeared to have braked later than the IS-F and was behind the IS-F when the IS-F started to brake. That's definitely going to be a point for debate. Otherwise a cool video.
