A IS 250 AWD driving on metal *****.Lincoln is using the same ball thing with their MKS going up an incline showing their AWD system.

By NY, you mean NYC channels? Not sure how you missed them. I've seen at least three different commercials for the second generation IS. One of those -- the one where they drop an IS from a helicopter while another speeds below it -- I've seen dozens of times.

Good question that I can't answer because I have a full cable package.

No, I am not driving cross country I would prob kill my self, but I am flying in and can't wait to go to some shops out there. There is no such thing of car shops in New York, all they have is ppl who do tint and stereo systems. I would also like to take a ride to Corona to go to Eibach. How far is that from L.A.?

Yeah here in NY I see will a couple of IS's and I mean a couple and have yet to see one hooked up. So I am really excited and can't wait to get started. Hopefully the car comes from the port to the dealership this week, I am going to take pics with all the stickers and paper on it.

I know that last year duing the football playoffs, there were a TON of Lexus commercials--and I saw IS commercials constantly--the one with the IS that was dropped from a plane. Not as much since then.

They ran a IS commercial every two seconds here in NYC during the US open, but after that only one here and there.

Youtube has a cool 2GenIS commercial from Japan that shows a valet guy getting the key and dreaming. In Chicago, I have seen the AWD ball bearing one in a wharehouse that looks like bad CGI (LOL)!!!
