Yeah, they do have really nice quality shots on that site but I stopped visiting because there are too many stock cars. I don't like looking at stock anything for too long, even my beloved 557.

I think the outside mirrors is the only new thing on the IS that I like.

i feel the same why oh and the new wood trim. like someone said in the merged thread, they ES-ified everything. Especially the moon-roof control, i've always thought the dial was the best.

peace

Call me crazy but I think this just looks bad. Is this panel black with the black interior (at least the buttons would match) or is it always gray?

I am thinking that the black interior is the only way to go on the 09 just to avoid all the color mismatching.

The car looks really bad! The GS looks a 100 times better than the 09's. I was driving behind a 09 AWD 250 the other day and I was just so upset.

Really? I was driving behind a 09 the other day and thought "wow that looks pretty much the same as an 08"

I went to the dealer this weekend. I think the changes look MUCH better in person, especially the front bumper. The only thing that looks not so good IMO is the golden colored wood in the ecru interior(which is in the car I am getting ) It looks orange.
If everything goes as planned I will have my 09 GFM this week and will post up some pics.
