Oh and sorry but I have to laugh at the ridiculously low profile rubber and the BBK setup on that. It's freakin LS.

I think it looks great, it's not too over the top and clean.

Lexus will never win on this forum, BMW owners say they are too conservative and boring and when they add something that makes the car that is clean and more aggressive they call it being something that they aren't. Make up your minds.

Lexus's won't usually win on this forum because the styling is so different from that of BMW's.

Styling is a subjective manner, and I don't think a single Lexus looks all that good in my opinion.

Lexus has this general design direction that seems to be hinting towards melted soap or something. While I don't consider myself a full-on design critique kind of guy, I do tend to monitor all the latest designs/trends and try to analyze cars because I do have some slight intention of getting into the world of automotive design.

I think Lexus's are bland, boring and conservative. Their profiles and overall designs are rather generic, and their styling elements are droopy and just "there" on the cars, like they don't work together. When people say the IS-F is something that Lexus isn't, it's because I think they're trying too hard. Quad stacked exhaust, huge flanking vents, a bulging hood, and glitzy CF interior trim are all huge departures from traditional Lexus design.

+1, exactly!

Damn that modded Camry is horrid, please get your eyes checked if you think it looks good because clearly you are wrong!

Today, saw it in a parking structure in South Coast Plaza. It was incredibly gorgeous. The first thing that caught my eye were the wheels. Wow!
