Will have to see it in person. I like what they've been doing with the fronts, but the rear looks weird in those "photos".

I'm really not a fan on the front bumper.

Interior looks nice, but the exterior is ugly as hell. I much prefer the look of the current IS. I've seen the new GS in person and it looks nice, but for this I think they took that look to the extreme and it didn't work.

Exterior styling seems really extreme at first sight, but it'll probably grow on me. . . .Would like to test-drive one: : I liked the 2006 IS250 awd a lot.

The front bumper is terrible; no elegance at all in that design.

I don't hate it, but I'm not exactly drooling over it either. Would be curious to see if they actually tweaked with the performance aspec and made it less dull to drive. I'd still pick a 3 series over this. A new IS-F would be cool...hopefully without the fake exhaust this time.

They did with the LFA...too bad it cost over $300k. Would be cool if Lexus made one based on the 86. I hear a true Lexus sports car is in the works.

I'm a fan of big grilles, but these Lexus hour glass shaped grilles aren't doing it for me. The side profile looks bland too.


2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe Previewed
Anyone seen the new BMW 4 series near production concepts? They look REALLY nice. If the production version comes close to the concept version and it's under $40K, I've found my next car!


Also the new Infiniti Q50 (Skyline) is coming out on Monday.
