Should've stopped and asked the driver about the fake exhaust pipes

Default ....and you'd do the same for the R8 drivers as well?

yes, they're 'fake' as well.

Default Big difference. At least the R8's false exhaust tips line-up and...

the R8's tips at least approximate the size and shape of the outlet pipes and has some semblance of quality and workmanship.

The IS-F's faux tips on the other hand are contrived and riced-out designs that are clearly screaming out loud for attention without being aware of where the actual exhaust will be emitting gases. Not only don't the pipes line-up, but the shape is nowhere near suggesting that such a ricockulous stacked configuration was even necessary to begin with, other than to look ridiculous.

Here are some pics I snapped at the Chicago auto show. I mean seriously now... it's as if the team that designed the body were just left to guess what the final specs would be with regards to how the powertrain will be assembled onto the chassis. WTF.

Default one word for the whole car - ugly...

I bet it would be a decent track car. But there is no way I'd pay $60k+ for a car that ugly. Its like they took the minor uglies of the IS350 and amplified them.
