Default can anyone from japan tell us about the current demand for ISF?

and how the reputable sources/magazines in japan rate ISF by itself and against german competitors?

There is atleast a 1+ yr wait in japan. This is confirmed by a well-known board member here who is on that list.

it seems pretty popular in japan.....I drove through waikiki this past weekend and the japanese tourist went crazy like paparazzis. I;m sure the wait list play a role in it.

dam!! the guy i talked to was james mao. gah. how did they get the blue one with the white interior? was it a special order that fell through? i wonder if it'll sell for less than MSRP. i'm in no hurry to buy. i have a long timeframe lol. i might even end up with an '09 possibly. i just wish i knew what changes if any will be made to the '09s and when will they come out.
