Watch the video on the side of the MSN link, when i saw the thing coming to hit the side of the IS and BMW I was like
[darthvader]NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[/darthvader]
Also showing them both running it into a stationary object, they slow motion the IS crash to rub it in too. Even show the IS side impact test in slow motion

"Both the BMW and Lexus earn the silver award, but this award applies only to 3 series models manufactured after February, 2006, when BMW redesigned the head restraints to improve performance in the rear test."
I guess those 3 series made before Febrauray 2006 aren't as safe.

The iihs guy said that the IS is the "the poster child for how we want manufacturers to make their vehicles. It looks good, the [crash] dummies say its good; its a good vehicle"

If you think that's bad, remember that Lexus took 7 years longer than Mercedes to make full length curtains standard on the GS!
