Default Anyone see "Mike's" IS on Las Vegas last Friday?

I know it's a little late, but I rarely watch anything real time these days, Tivo all the way . Anyway, the show that aired 3/10, Mike was driving a white IS, which you could only see through the door of the Bronco Burger restaurant. Looked like it had BBS RS-GT's the best I could tell. Dang I love those wheels! Why couldn't my dealer give me some $$$ off MSRP so I could justify spending it on these bad boys?

Didn't see that, but I'm patiently waiting for the IS to make it's debut on '24'. Someone is always driving a Lexus on that show!

I've just become a 24 junkie. My wife was telling a coworker how much we like Alias and she let us borrow season 1. I polished it off in a little over a week. It's awsome! . Can't believe they got rid of Nina, though. Hopefully, we'll get season 2 sometime this week. I'll keep my eyes open for Big L.

I saw it!
I also like the comment the Burger joint manager made to Mike about "how can you be driving a car like that and be applying for work here?"

I saw it, didn't think it was the IS tho. Looked too big to me. Anyway they asked him "why work here if you drive a Lexus?" LV is one of my favourite shows, Sam she's a hottie.

I believe it was a new GS. I noticed it right away (unless my eyes were deceiving me).

The new GS also showed it's face on '24' a few weeks ago

The LS430 was on last night...
I love 24... but one thing i thought they messed up with is how the LS430 could not out run a van filled with 5 people. Come on....

Could be that Wayne was still in the break-in period?

The only thing more unrealistic than that is the number of times CTU gets compromised!

I used to watch Las Vegas. James Caan's ( Ed Deline ) Aston Martin DB9 is awesome. Oh yeah, we can't forget about how hot Nikki *** is.

In real life, I've almost mistook the new GS for an IS. I'll be on the road and notice the other Lexus on the opposite side of the road heading towards me. I think, "Oh! Here comes an IS!" But as soon as it passes by I see the side profile and realize it's the (obviously larger) GS.

I saw it too. Seconds after I saw it I made a post here. Then they showed another angle and I realized it was the GS. I think they had the G-spiders on there too. Either way it caught my eye

Some gal won a red IS 250 yesterday from Lexus of Glendale on the "Wheel Of Fortune". Don't ask. The show comes on after my local news and I never changed it.

Was kind of surprised. The red looks nice under the studio lights though.

Cheers,
Kermee

I was watching that and thought the same. "LS is slower than a van with full passengers?!"
