I've seen them and sat in them before, so it wasn't really anything new to look at. The fender vent behind the front wheel is clearly the most "ricey" feature and the worst styling part of the car. (I had an IS350 for a week and really liked it except for - again - the lack of rear seat room; having fun with that car's 306 horsepower is what convinced me the CTS is probably the best car for me, since it's bigger). This IS-F was the bright blue color, which isn't bad looking.
Anyway, the guy who was driving it seemed like kind of an a-hole; I clearly was checking out his car and didn't say anything, but looked at it in a sort of complementary way (like he knew I was admiring it and not disgusted with him), but he didn't acknowledge me. He got in the car and fired it up, and it sounded great. It boomed for a second and settled into a V8 rumble. I drove away before he moved so I didn't hear the engine besides when he started it up, but it did sound good, as do most V8s.
