Default Weird tire wear bc of suspension??

So i just got my IS350 recently and the front tires are more worn out on the outer sides. A guy at discount tire said that thats how suspension is in these cars and nothing you can do. Thought alignment would help but he said that it won't make much of a difference. Is that true??

In the picture you can't really see that good like in person.

Try a little more toe out. Sounds like it's toed in too much. Pretty rare for a 2IS, most of them have too much toe out and kill the inside edges.
