Default The yucky green doesn't look all that yucky after all

I'm liking the yucky green too for some strange reason. Looks much better than it does on the Best Car magazine.

seriously i'm like flipping out over here guys.

where are all these random pictures of different colors coming froom

do you think there are more colors or this is it? for some sort of press release, i'd think that they'd have all the colors on display. and if this is it... well i'm sorta disapointed. also, any white pics?

While that yucky green is not THAT yucky after all, I'll still pick all the other colors I' ve seen on this car over it . . .

The website had a video of the IS

http://car.nikkei.co.jp/stream/metafile/is.ram

The IS looked TIGHT in the last 30 seconds of the video

[EDIT] The center console had brush aluminum!

Good find. Too bad we still don't get to see the new IS in real motion yet.

The dimensions of that video are off, it makes the car look weird. Like it needs to be streched out or something.

Love seeing these new colors.

Just when I thought the New IS couldn't get any hotter, it does. Those pics are AMAZING and I can't wait to see the New IS in person!
