I hate you for showing me these links cuz I know I cant have it. I adore some of Lexus' designs especially that one.

They are definitely going more sports car lately in the design look. I think we will be even more impressed with the final design of the new $150K sports car.

It'll have to grow on me a bit more, but overall, I like it.
The back ends, on the new IS and GS scream BMW to me. 5 and 7 series respectively.

I think the GS is a much better looking car than the IS. This new IS seems to borrow too many design characteristics from other cars. For example the front screams Mazada to me and the rear is cross between BMW's big bodies and the G35. The sides look like big bodied BMW's. I always sort of liked the IS300 for its sort of boy racer looks, but this car has attempted to take too many of the current cars designs and it just doesn't quite come together for me (at least in these pictures). That said I think I will have to see it in person to get the full effect.
Interior looks flawless as usual. Is it going to come with the sport features to compete with the 3 series and G35 (i.e. manual, sport tuned suspension, etc.)?

Wow, almost completely different design than the current IS. The new IS and GS I think are both pretty hot looking cars.

bet993 - You hit the nail on the head. I'm also seeing Maxima influence in the design. Sharp looking car but they should have just evolved the IS300 design, this looks heavier and larger.
dimedrol - Lexus has come a long way, you might want to check your text. Your meaning came out different from what you entered.

Are you kidding me?
Lee posts pics of the new Ferrari 430:
"Yeah, looks like a Maxima to me. You can see the round headlights on both cars. Yep, and they both have 4 wheels, very derivative."
Lee posts pics of new BMW Rolls Royce:
"They definitely stole the flat door surfaces from the Maxima."
