There's something about the IS-F that just doesn't look right. Maybe its the cheap looking body enhancements.

Same here, something about the front bumper. The hump between the lights underneath the grille resembles a Sentra Se-R. The bumpers don't flow with the rest of the car, looks like an aftermarket body kit.

In person the body actually does flow well. But yeah... in photos the hood bulge can look awkward... as well as the front wheel flare vents. In person those vents look so thin.

StreetFire.net's "cjonesy" has some trouble with his 2006 Cadillac CTS-V. Watch the drama unfold and let us know how Cadillac should handle this. - Video

Yeah, Crester is a domestic basher also. I can easily find vids of foreign cars having issues, but I really don't care.

Well, I've owned many domestics and have never had any major mechanical issues. Even with my CTS-V the only issue i've had was a faulty spark plug.

I remember buying a Mazda Millenia back when they first came out and I had the head gasket go out and mess up the engine. So this whole domestic/foreign thing is total bs imho.

Yeah, I still want to see that beast in person. I'm still pretty excited about it.
