Thank you XanaduSC for the video...
I thought it was great, a glowing 'review' for the IS, understeer excepted. I thought that Patrick Dempsey was being very generous, particularly about the room (although for the front seats he was accurate). I loved the shots of the car in motion. Aside from Taste of Lexus and a brief, brief glimpse, I haven't seen the IS in motion much. And I enjoyed this vid a lot...!

But in a way I'm glad because I already want this car in a BAD way and I think the show would have just made it worse.

New Video Format (ipod and Quicktime)
I put together the Speed Channel IS350 review for Ipod and in Quicktime format.
IS350 Stream (QT)
Video Ipod Ready (choose m4v file)
Enjoy!
Oh yah! Just in case!
This is Speed Channel's show and I am just giving another option to Lexus Enthusiast's to see it. There is no intention to sell or make profit from this but will only help promote Speed Channel and Lexus.

Just want to point out that they have some misinformation there. Don't think it'll take anything away from the show though.

17 x 8.0-in alloy wheels with 225/45VR17 all-season tires front, 245/45VR17 all-season tires rear

Thanks Izzyracer for proving those other formats.
I could always try to upload my high quality version of this show for broadband users, the file would be over 100 MB. In case anyone wanted to preserve it on DVD or VCD. Let me know if anyone is interested.
