2006 Lexus Is

Eh, looks too much like a Scion - it wouldn't be a stretch that it was designed by the same team. In my opinion, the old IS/Altezza looked much better... either way there's only a handfull of 4 door cars that look good, and this isn't one of them.

I like the new design but was unimpressed by the lack of manual on the 350 and the drive overall, too cacoon like, too much isolation. I do not think this will be a BMW 330/Infinti G35/Acura TL killer.

Right right right, it looks like a Scion and it looks great. My Scion is about half the price and is a great car

Ehh, it doesn't look that much like a Scion to me but at the same time they're VERY different cars marketed towards completely different people. The Scion is economy with good looks and the IS to the 3 series crowd. Other than being made by Toyota, the two cars aren't mentionable in the same sentence.

Looks a little like the new 3 or 5 series BMWs or Acura TSX IMO. I like the design :clap:
