Thanks for sharing that video. 3IS is looking sharp. Can't wait to see one in person and drive it. Come on June'ish (I think that's when they are suppose to hit the dealers)

I saw it over a week ago at the NAIAS, but sadly it was only on a rotating display and locked away (like the LF-CC was at Paris in October). I wish more of these new releases wouldn't be "display only" and at least allow attendees to have closer inspection, as what is really the point if one can just look at it online.

Even when its up on the roundtable, seeing it in person is just totally different than seeing it online.

Saw the new IS at the media preview for the Chicago Auto Show. They only had one car. It was a black 350 F-sport. When I first saw the pictures online, I was not crazy about the car. In person, the car looks much better! The taillights looks huge in photos but look just fine in person. For some reason, the car does not photograph well in my opinion.

When is the Tampa show this year, the new isx50 MIGHT make it worth paying for? The last time I went it totally sucked and the entrance had been practically turned into a flea market.

is the new IS built upon the 2IS platform, just more fortified or on the 2013 GS platform?
