I will try to work on cutting my video in short clips. In both cars we drove with the lights on all over and there are plenty times you see the LED brake lights turn on. I don't see what the obsession is with seeing the brake lights. It's not the LED style you commonly see on other makes particularly the Infiniti models.

Yes he is. And location and date is undisclosed. It wouldn't matter since you would need to be at least 21 to drive the vehicles in the first place.

Ryan, Did you upload your own video clips? Not the press one but your own? I want to make sure that I didn't miss them posted on another thread. If you have, please direct me where they are. If not, could you make a separate post so I won't miss them?

Thanks, look forward to your video clips from your test drive.

Not yet but soon. Been busy with family stuff and work commute got longer (since the Cal State system and other schools got back into fall semester and traffic has gotten worse). I will have those clips up soon. It will definitely show you how brisk the IS350 accellerates and proves how quick the car is....(especially now since the 0-60 in 5.5 seconds that Motorweek tested justifies my originaly theory that the IS350 is faster than the G35).
