Trunk Question
Does anyone know if the trunk springs open when you push the trunk release button? Mine doesnt... it just pops and stays in the nearly closed position... however, I have a 2006 ES loaner vehicle and when I pop the trunk, it springs open nicely. I wish the IS did that...

I think the reason why the springs are so weak is so that you can pull it closed from the handle inside the trunk lid without having to touch the painted surface. If the springs were strong enough to raise the trunk lid automatically, it would be harder to close without touching the paint.

Auto closing is also on many of the other luxury Benz and Masserattis... as far as I've seen them in person.
The Auto open feature that's not on the IS saved me once from a terrible mishap... I parked the car under a parking structure, and I backended it into the spot... above the trunk is a storage area, if it had opened automatically, it would hit the storage and scratched the car. (I accidentally hit the trunk instead of my footwell lights)
