Test drive video-- 325i/530i featured

Check Lexus test video on new IS/GS sedans. Mind to check comparison numbers with other cars involved (Bimmer, MB, Audi). Surprise, surprise

That is damn cool!

Check out last video. Is that just me, or 325i has smallest body roll?

man i dont think the test drivers pushed the e90 to the limits, its advantage over other cars in cornering was only marginal

plus, i have no idea what the guy was saying...

after seeing the vids again, i'm still not convinced

by the japs for advertising for lexus

Heh that wouldn't be the first time the Japanese have been accused of favoring Japanese cars in test drives

Of course it's a cynical way of looking at it, but in lots of older videos where they tested the NSX, that car always seeemd to somehow perform and match up to other more powerful cars better than what you'd expect

i saw another IS today

What an UGLY car

The windows are tiny and look very CLS like...

It looks like some grabbed the front and smushed it togeather...

Just do not like it

SO glad I did not wait for one...

E90 did better than all the other cars :rocks:

I agree, there is some obvious BS. Like in test 1 E90 has shorter stop distance, and in test 3 E90 suddenly keep going futher then IS350.

But the point is that even in Lexus produced test you can not hide the TRUTH!

the guy test driving the e90 probably thought, "gawwd, this car handles like a freakinnnn' CHAMP, well then...better tone it down so the lexus will stand out the most." :mad: :mad: :mad:
