It's nice!!! However, doesn't it remind you of those Nissan Maxima ads where the guy touches the car and "sees" himself driving the car fast and all??

Nice commercial, but obviously this will never be aired here and only in Asia due to the fact that the concept was a shameless rip off of the Nissan Maxima commercial.

But of course none of us here knows which one comes first so you can't say who ripped off who.

edit: i should say "conceived first" but i believe the max commercial is the new model, too.

I saw the Maxima commercial for the first time almost a 1 and a 1/2 to 2 years ago. It went through some changes 2-3 times over the time with the basic idea of touching the car triggering the alter state being the same. Obviously, IS just came out a few months ago. There is no reason to doubt that Nissan conceived the idea first.

In Taiwan,

No IS350 and no Nav for IS250.

But Lexus IS250 is still the best seller compared to BMW E90.

It will be a big challenge to BMW if Lexus decides to offer Nav and to sell IS350.
