Alot of people on this forum seem to have a strong disslike for lexus lol.. but I on the other hand have a soft spoy for them. My last car was a lexus is300 and I loved the hell out of it.. Now if I like the new styling of the is model is a different story. Anyhow I think this car is gonna be badass I would love to see it on the road and drive it if possible

I was hoping they would hit the spot with this thing...but the styling is horrible. It looks like a random tuner did the job. :thumbsdown: Otherwise it should be decent - let's at least hope they get the other half right

I think the normal IS350 looks much better. What bothers me most about Lexus is the quality of the finish in the interiors. For instance, I test drove the GS, IS, and RX before my wife bought a 545. I thought the interior on everything but the IS seemed to be nice, but very cheep. The RX340 had the same window buttons my 2000 toyota 4runner has, and the leather feels very thin, and very cheep patent leather like.

The IS350 had the same cheep leather but the rest of the interior seemed nice.
