The IS-F sounds very robust in person. Very true, we wont really get a guage of how the engine sounds until we get behind the wheel and drive it under full load. It's quite funny the comments i've already gotten on YouTube by the Euro fanboys. The IS-F & RS4 sound very different. Plus that revving inside that ballroom that day doesn't do well with harmonics of the IS-F's true sound. Since we were on a stage in the Riverview Ballroom, the acoustics are alot different than being on concrete or asphalt outside.

I was reading some of the comments on there about how gawdy the extended body lines look. While it may look like this from certain angles (in pics), in person it mos def looks much better & more subtle then people think.

looks pretty good, i prefer some dished rims or some concaved te-37's, but i'm more interested in the aftermarket support this may get. i wonder who'll come out with the n/a add-ons--hopefully trd. but i expect hks/trust/blitz/tom's to be in full competition with each other too

Agreed. saw the leaked photos the night before the Press Release at the hotel we stayed at in Detroit. I reserved my real judgement until I saw the car up close and in person the next day in the Riverview Ballroom. It's a lot better when you can judge something up close and in person instead of seeing a bunch of photos and being disappointed with it the whole time.
