Is anyone else angry that the new Lexus IS looks a lot like our E60s? From the headlights to the wheel wells to the side skirts to the tail lights to the bumper. It's a blatent rip.
I guess it goes without saying, but "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
Anyone else upset by this?

Looked at the new IS when it came out a few weeks ago. My parents have had Lexus cars for years.
My mom got in, and she is only 5' 1" tall, and she said she felt like the ceiling was caving in on her. It make her claustrophobic.
So we ordered her a 325i
