To think that the special glue could have been a no-go and that it made such a difference in the performance, where internal execs test drove it themselves, was an interesting fact!

My apologies to chief engineer Furuyama-san for misspelling his name.

I can totally relate to what he says about the car and having a dialogue that pulls you in to wanting to go faster and drive harder. My new IS 350 F-Sport is such an amazing driving experience.

I will have a test ride soon because a became interested in Furuyama san's post about this IS 300H. One question though, did you think to adopt active 4 wheel steering for this model, and if so is there a special reason why this option was not chosen, it was cost?
