Default Did you notice the last car in line in this picture

towards the top left corner of the screen, last car in line (or second to last) is what appears to be a rather BRIGHT red car. I thought that the IS was not going to come in bright red? Hmmm. . .

I saw the color plates for the new IS and it definately did not have bright red as an option. Perhaps it was just another car hanging around...

Default I don't know, it looked like the same window trim as the other ISs

Then it looks like there is a silver car behind the red one.

what do CNET people know about cars? serisouly, their electronic reviews are great but thier cars reviews have been not very impressive. Not that i dont like them reviewing or anything but i just find those review are not in depth enough sometimes.it was a great read nontheless. Thanks!

Rearview camera confirmed

It's not really a review, it's more or less just a preview. A review would be a comparison, or numbers, or something, but that article's just really a quick overview of what's to be expected out of the new vehicle.

Well CNET certainly knows about gadgets, and in their GS review they complained the NAVI screen resolution wasn't high enough. This time around, with the new IS' 32,000 etc...VGA they can't complain. It's the best in the business!
