Default IS production plant

I'm sure those of you that have been in the Club Lexus forum for awhile have already seen this but for the noobs (like me) I thought this was a pretty cool video. I tried to search the forum to see if anyone had posted it but I couldn't find where anyone had (recently, anyway) so my apologies if this is old news to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rA9qOdyEYs

I don't have an IS yet. I was debating between the IS350 and the Infiniti G37. I test drove the G37S yesterday and I knew that it was not for me. It's a fine car, don't get me wrong, but the for the kind of driving I do the IS350 is better. It rides better, it's quieter, and it just feels more like a "premium" car. The Infiniti just felt like a regular car to me. So after the test drive, and seeing the care that they take in the manufacturing process in the video above, I am done looking. Now I just have to get the wife to give me the go ahead

Cool video. I hadn't seen that yet. Now I don't feel so bad about having the Lux package
