Default 5th Gear IS220d movie

http://rapidshare.de/files/8401353/Lexus_220d.rar.html

Found this on a U.K Lexus forum.
Great movie, he really liked the car. The following is one of the things he said that really pleased me. Very honest and logic, because I felt he was reviewing this car for “real world” drivers, not “test track” drivers, which most of the buying market isn’t! (don’t read the following if you think it’s going to spoil the movie)

“It’s quiet stiff, quite firmly sprung but the damping is very good so it isolates u from the road… turn in tho it still doesn’t quite have the edge, its about 90 % there but not quite as dynamic as you’d like it, it doesn’t feel as edgy as the bmw…”
“But then again I didn’t buy or I wouldn’t buy a car like this to be edgy”
“If im going to cover 30 000 miles a year, I don’t want a car that only satisfy me 10% of the time, id prefer a car that really could isolate me and make me feel comfortable 90% time.”
And goes on mentioning how it has nice sporty detail and… well, ill just let you watch the movie.

2 things:

I thought it was a IS250 not a 220?
How do you play a .rar file?

RAR's are like ZIP's; compressed files.

Download this util:

Oh, and I assume that the IS220d is what they call the 250 overseas.

Yeah, the 220d is a diesel. I think they still have the regular 250 (on regular gas) in Europe, but no 350.

IS220d is new 2.2 d4d engine, 3rd generation common rail (first that I know of), with 177hp and 295lbs of torque, comes with 6 speed manual, it is considered the cleanest and most powerful 4cly diesel in the world. We also have IS250, but not 350.

hmmm... maybe i opened it wrong? I am also using VLC. I just dragged the whole folder onto VLC and it opened and played the video but no sound. Also i noticed the video was a little sqaushed. The car looked thinner/taller than normal.
