That must be a pre-production model. Thought they already said the tailpipes wont be fake...

The new Car and Driver has a road test article about it.
Haven't read it yet to determine if it's pre-production test drive or not.


Either way
//M3 9384013 times > IS-F

Car in general is nice. I wasn't impressed at all by the numbers (0-60 or1/4) since there is an IS350 video here that is faster.I'll still keep my judgment until I drive one because that could change my opinion.I don't justify the extra cost.In my head,M3>C63>RS4>IS-F.

The quad exhausts are not fully functional?!! WTF is that? Putting on fake tailpipes on a high perf. car is stoooooooooooopid. I like the concept, just not the execution. Like someone else said, 4.8 to 60 is nothing to write home about and neither is 112 ft from 60.
