lots of M3 traits/characteristics there: (quad pipes...flares...side fender vents)...

the side mirrors are freakin huge.

 

My first thought when I saw it? Saab - I don't see Lexus in the back end at all...

I just wonder why the manufacturers keep using the same features over and over. I personally feel that all these high end cars are starting to look alike and the only way we'll be able to tell them apart will be when we look at the emblems.

I mean, why can't someone create a unique car with different lines? Like our Crossfires?

 

I agree that creativity in design is being lost on many new autos. The crossfire is still the freshest design, bold and new is several years.

 

I personally like the styling of not only the new IS250/350, but every Lexus model in the lineup. Of course I am biased to Lexus somewhat since I've owned an IS300, but since I own a Crossfire now I don't think anyone can say I'm a Lexus fanatic haha!

I'm just eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new IS coupe!!!

 

I guess I shouldn't say anything, since I have nothing good to say...

Very uncreative.

 

That looks just like the shot of the new BMW in Automobile! Somebody stole someone's tail lights!

 

Lexus did not hide the fact that they copied Mercedes when they introduced the brand. In the latest redesign, they decided to go after BMW.
It's fairly blatant and will continue to do so.

 

Those will be a dime a dozen. Toyota and Co, Infinity, Nissan too are making some fugly cars.
