This just reinforces my decision to unsubscribe. I couldn't make it to 3:00 because he straight-up lies to us right out of the gate. He moves the steering wheel around and says that barely anything is happening, yet we can clearly see the car moving around. He's implying the car has lazy steering, but I think we all know there's pretty much zero dead-zone in it. His video confirms as much, even though the words he's saying are something else. He's just annoying and clearly goes into each car review with a bias and an agenda. Before even letting the audience get a good look at the car or even talking about any specs or what the IS 500 is supposed to be, he goes on a rant about how it "lacks funding" or whatnot, and this comes across as a premature conclusion. The story has barely begun, and he's already giving us the ending. Did not care for this, and probably won't watch anything else of his.

That video is 32 minutes long, not sure that I want to watch it given what you are saying.

Also it's in two threads?

I think the other thread is developing its own ideas, so I'll allow it.

Not to mention he literally titles the video, "The IS-F that isn't" NO KIDDING! It's not an IS-F! It's like getting pissed a BMW M340i isn't an M3. BMW can do it, but the reviewers love to harp on Lexus over it.

Did not watch and won't. I'll keep my time and spare him the click revenue.

I loaded up this page to rail on this Effer and I feel calm and better, because y’all have said the same things.

I too couldn’t get past the first few minutes. Dude knew in his head the 500 wasn’t built to be an F product, but he wanted it to be so his sour-*** review reflects it. 😒🤬

^^^ Crazy talk. Someone who enjoyed the car. Weird when that happens.

This thread is just becoming a dump for bad IS500 videos.
