Just watched today's Motorweek tv special. John Davis said be sure to catch next weeks episode for the all new Lexus IS 350. They showed a quick video of the IS in red. 
So guys, it will be next week, check your local listings. I guess this makes sense cause how could he review it when prices have not been released yet by Lexus.

I just watched Motorweek, and let me say it was a waste of time. They showed the IS in the second test segment of the show (the short review, not much longer than the sneak peek a few months ago).
They didn't do the track testing, slalom, 0-60 or braking. I highly encourage everyong to email them with feedback motorweek@mpt.org or post their forum... http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/forum/

I sure wish I could figure out how to post just a few minutes of this 30min show. Working on it. When I figure it out, everyone will get to watch it. It was "ok". Anyone know of a good free video hosting website where I can deposit this?

Motorweek airs 6:00am PDT on the West Coast. There's this thing called Regional Programming.

Ok, I have QTPro. Got the video to my computer using TivoToGo. I'm pretty sure I can do the editing, didn't know where to "hang it." The Members Gallery it is.

Just watched this on TV. It was a good review, showed losts of colors but mostly the red. It was about 5 min long. Looks like they have one with the sports pkg, saw metal pedals. Also they show you the dash up close without the NAV for those who want to know.
John Davis does what he usually does with these reviews, gas mileage, base price, review inside the cabin. A guy gets in the back seat, you can see he is a bit tight with leg room.

Thanks!!! It worked perfectly!! And who said the review was not worth it? They gave the IS wonderful praise!!! "World class"!
Edit: I used DIVX player and set the aspect ratio to wide.

It worked but the video is too dark and the aspect ratio is not right makes the car look funny. I'm gonna rip it from my Tivo to DVD.
