Rims are very cool, but they look like they were taken right off a G35...

That doesn't seem that far off some of the other current renditions.

Even after the unveiling next week, you still won't know for sure exactly what the production IS will look like. A simple change in rims (between show and production car) can make a big diff in appearance.

The Honda looks interesting, sort of reminds me of the Scion tC for some reason.

Yes...the silver car at the bottom COULD be the new IS, but it looks more like the new GS to me.....I have seen the new GS.
Did you also notice the blue retro Toyota Land Cruiser there at the bottom? This is perhaps Toyota's first trip down memory lane....the styling is from the mid-60's-early 70's Land Cruiser.

Default Thassit alright

Get your deposits down early as the IS350 will be produced in pretty small numbers and no one likes to wait. I hope we see some with the VDIM as it is most advanced stability control on the planet.
