Thumbs up The IS is a safe car!!

Back in February this year, i was crossing the street on a green light while a lady driving the old Acura CL ran a red light at 40 mph and hit my passenger side. My friend was sitting there. The Acura made my entire passenger side dent in like a foot or more and all the airbags came out on that side..the great thing was me and my friend was 100% ok, while the CL's front was smashed in like more than half way and the lady got owned with the airbag since she was driving so close to the wheel. That car was a crystal white
IS350 and i had a witness so insurance had to pay for me current car A tungest pearl IS350. So for all you 2IS owners out there, be confident to know that your driving one hell of a safe car!

Who cares? It was her fault for causing the grief and potential for loss of life.
