That's great - I really like that first pic.

Depends on torso/leg length ratio for one, and how 'wide' you are. If you're a big dude those side bolsters might feel constraining.

I'm 6'3" with long legs but not wide and the IS feels pretty good. Of course I have to put the front seat all the way back so I'd pity the poor sucker who had to sit behind me.

For skinny dudes, pretty good. For ones that spend a few hours taking care of their body in the gym, a little snug. Just like the Boxster, the sides of the bucket seats hit in the middle of my shoulder blades...Oh, 6'3", 235.

Are we sure that the IS430 will be a PRODUCTION vehicle? If that is the case, I find it hard to believe that lexus would allow the IS to become the fastest car in the group when they can make more money if they can also make a 5 sec 0-60 car out of the GS.

As far as comments on those pics go. The first pic is obviously the best one out of them all, however, 2 things:\
1) Im still not sure of its authenticity.
2) Im concerned that the GS would look too "Toyota" and not try to have an individual look that would apply to lexus only.

We haven't seen the new GS yet.

That first pic is heavily photoshopped pic from the 2003 Japanese Aristo catalog (which I am looking at right now). The unshopped Aristo shown in the catalog is black and is unchanged from the 99-02 body.
The photoshopper forgot to 'shop the clouds in the pic, which are identical.

it's not that they forgot. It's just that if they think those pics can fool someone, then they obviously can't realize that those clouds will give it away.

And basically everything gives it away.
