with new models they give them to certain ppl to get some road miles on them before the press gets them

the plan when i last spoke to the ppl involved was they would have started that a few weeks ago

but hey who cares... im certainly hanging out for my first drive!!! :twisted:

Lol,

When we were building the Ford Focus,

we had to keep it hidden in the garage at home not dad's work,
as the ford dealers hadn't even seen them yet.

What was the plan? that everyone thought you had an awesome home build car? I can understand secrecy, though after its had its official release in any country in the world less so. But that does seem a little to far in my eyes.

Bring on the IS-F

The IS-F is amazing,

Even the IS350 is impressive. 306HP from a 3.5V6 is nothing to underestimate!

Have a look at this dyno run of an IS-F, the gear changes are phenomenal! Not to mention that sound........!
