Lexus is not going to point out deficiencies in their comparisions! You obviuosly know nothing about marketing.

And it's marketing, not marking. My earlier statement was simply to point out to the other respected poster that his assertions that Lexus made false deficiency statements on behalf of other manufacturers was not necessarily the case. There were no false deficiency comparisons made against the G35 regarding Cd, fuel tank, or engine displacement. There were true comparisons made against the G35 on other areas where the IS has an advantage.

I'm a retard too. I wasn't looking at the pdf if continuous facing mode, so on mine it showed the A4 comparisions advantages beside the G35.
There are still a few mistakes (turning radius, saying "not available" on G's driver programmable shift warning light, aluminium pedals, putting "not available" on VDIM (g has VDC)) "not available" under DRL), and a couple fudges (trunk size in the G is stated with full size spare, without it it's 2 cubic feet larger than the IS's).
Oh well, no matter. I got an e-mail that said I get to go check them out on the 14th, so now I am really excited.

Are you saying all these appear on later models of the G35 Sedan?
As for VDIM and VDC, which is better is highly subjective. VDIM is definitely more proactive and offers better safety, but it's also more intrusive, can't be turned off and could hinder handling. That's a subject for an entirely different thread, though. I suppose as a method of safety listing VDIM as an advantage and saying the G doesn't have VDIM is technically correct. This isn't an Infiniti brochure, afterall.
Either way, I am not knocking the brochure. My original posts were obviously mistaken because I didn't have the pdf in the correct format - but there are still little fudges and mistakes. Oh and don't sweat not having the rev light, it's annoying anyway.

BTW, is it printer version identical to the pdf? Because those guys acted like they had not seen my material (the pdf) before today (tho maybe it's still new to them).
