Wow this should be interesting, they are gonna push this car to the limits.

"The Lexus IS 350 isn’t just playing follow the leader in the sports sedan segment, it is capable of showing the leader a thing or two about what refined performance is all about!"

on that quote.

I'm gonna set my tivo and copy it to DVD.

"The standard 17-inch alloy ten-spoke wheels fitted with low profile all season tires, featuring larger 245/45 rears with a staggered tire setup helps give the new IS a more aggressive look"

Just want to point out that they have some misinformation there. Don't think it'll take anything away from the show though.

Actually, i was wondering about that. I know that the 17" rims are not staggered, but is it possible that they just put fatter tires on the back to get a 'staggered tire' set up?/is this what they did?
