I don’t think t’s mediocre. It’s informative. His information of the brochure is quite interesting in the packaging of the new IS. I can’t believe Lexus is actually doing packages and options.

It's informative, even though his information about the brochure being Canadian is wrong as you pointed out?

All he's doing is reading a brochure for us on a video, and he can't even do it right.

people make mistakes. I don’t expect perfection from You Tubers.

Anyways, I don’t have any issues with him. It great awareness and I’m really glad you posted that brochure Motorola

Cloudburst Gray is working for me with those wheels. Nice contrast.

i like the fact that those great optional wheels are 19's and not 20's.

Awesome car overall!!👍👍

The older I get the more I'm leaning towards minimalist designs and those wheels while looking great just seem a tad busy and will be very hard to clean. I prefer old school simple open double 5 spoke designs.

I am REALLY surprised that 2nd video is still up! Showing acceleration runs with a view of the speedometer before reviews are supposed to give live is risky!

that's what a foam soak, a soft brush and a pressure washer are for.

I probably need to get a nice, gentle brush. My knees can't take me getting down on the ground and hand-washing the wheels. I got some Meguiar's wheel and tire cleaner which works well.

I am actually thinking about how the dark chrome actually hides the dirt well, which seems counterintuitive, but of course nothing beats a nice silver-painted wheel like the Enkeis on the 500.

Don't care for the rims myself. They look fussy and busy. Something simpler and darker would be welcomed.
Can't wait for this car to arrive. It is everything I feel a sport-luxury sedan should be.

Read from somewhere that the front overhang was extended a couple inches compared to the IS350 to fit the V8, but I can't confirm this because we have no specs on the dimensions of the IS500 yet.

Hey, Folks, Michael here from the ClubLexus Editorial Team.

We'll have our IS 500 in for review in a couple of weeks, but as you probably know, we won't be able to share our driving impressions or pricing info until September 10. Still, we'll be able to make similar videos to what's posted above about looks and sounds, etc.

Please let me know if you have any questions in advance!
