Was this pic ever posted here? I never seen it here, I saw this for the 1st time over at the IS300.net forum.

Glad to see rear A/C vents included, a much needed thing in Florida. I'm imagining me sitting in the rear seats, do the door sills seem high? Maybe it's just the pic but the door seems high from the inside. It looks kinda roomy back there. This pic gives you an idea of what the front seats really look like.

The door is high - little glass area. High belt lines seems to be the design theme in most cars these days.

Is there any added safety feature to this? More door sill to protect the occupant with less glass to cause injury? Or is this just the way the car is designed.

I'm not sure the reason but the effect is that you can't see out as well. I guess one benefit is that the windows go all the way down.

That last pic looks great, but those M3 wannabe vents need to go.
