I have yet to see it, but my buddies who have unanimously say the car looks MUCH better in person than it does in pics, and I personally think it looks great in pics and vids I saw of its unveiling at NAIAS.

I saw a test mule in La Habra a few days ago. This car looks AMAZING in person. Much, much, much better in person than in pictures. All the details sort of just mesh together and look really mean together. That said, I saw this car in black, so the details were somewhat hidden. Still, I thought the car looked fantastic, imo better than the M3, definitely.

I was able to see the blue IS-F close up today at the Orange County el-toro Taste of Lexus. The windows were down, but the doors were locked, so I had no chance of sitting down in it. The black chrome wheels, slotted bbk, the new fender, and the aggressive looking exhaust were beautiful. Looks much better in person.

It made my day, since I wasn't expecting to see it today.

Enough with how good it looks! The real questions are:

1) For those who have tested it on the dyno and were at the Laguna Seca to get a first hand driving (passenger) experience, how did the car ride?

2) How was the gearbox feeling?

3) Did it give you butterflies in your tummy?

4) Soft/Stiff steering wheel?

I'm really looking forward to seeing your write up and especially the in-car video and IS-F vs IS350 drag race. How long is shortly? I feel the same as vip3r1850.

You can check out my my.IS counterpart Joaquin's article on my.IS' front page now.

Please be patient guys. Unless you guys want to wait a couple more months after the magazines review the cars for November/December publication.

Trust me, you're not alone. These video files are huge, and are not easy to edit. I don't even have the capability of my own computer to edit them since these video clips are large.

Sorry that the wait has been this long. I do all of this voluntarily for everyone...I'm not paid to do ANY of this and is all done in my free time, including everyone invited that was present that day in Monterey. None of this would have ever been published if it wasn't for the one guest that was invited and couldn't wait to get our articles out. This is why their photos and pics are plastered all over Autospies since. You can thank them for delaying all of these awesome videos and pics that we took that day.
