Both front and rear treatments look great.

Say what? A four year cycle for the IS? They just facelifted it and it will be around for at least two more model years. Either I misread the above post or the parts guy is on crack.

I finally saw the rear lights at night last night. Thumbs down. The new LED's form a unimaginative rectangular shape. Reminds me of the first Infiniti G35. Bleh The subtle, thin straight line of the '08's look more stealthy and evil. On the plus side, at least they are all LED's and not mixed.

So does this mean you can get White with Sport/X-pkgs in the Middle East along with the lobster claw wheels (versus our 3 colors and the thicker 5 spokes)? Hmmm... Cuz I really like that color combo/wheel + sport package.

These pictures are from Japan, we can get all of it in Middle East except the 18 inch stock.
