Another winner from the company that currently holds the trophy for the most recalled marque on the planet ! Well done Toyota !!!

I'll wait to see it in person before image any judgements. So far, I like everything except the awkward disconnect between the headlight and what I'm assuming is the drl. I think the designer's intention was for the eye to "fill in the space" but it's just not doing anything for me.

igom3 · 01-09-2013, 03:25 PM

Man, I thought Pontiac Aztec was the ugliest car ever. Until now

bosz · 01-09-2013, 03:27 PM

right now this is looking much better than msport 3 series from the outside and inside\\Just look at the gadgets inside the car..look at the crazy tacometer which looks like the same one as in the Lexus LFA. 3 series lacks tech bigtime, even a fully loaded one. I just feel my 2012 335i is old already, from the non LED turn signals, to the boring old speedometer/tachometer etc. Although the N55 engine and ZF8 Tranny is really really the heart and soul of this car which I and many others absolutely love. Just wished the F30 had more futuristic gadgetry to set it apart from other cheaper cars (like the ford focus has way more tech than the 3 series!)

ASAP · 01-09-2013, 03:27 PM

Lexus screwed up bad by not renewing the engine choices.

ROB_S2K · 01-09-2013, 03:28 PM

Oh man I can't stop laughing at this thing. Hideous

f30nynj · 01-09-2013, 03:30 PM

I literally puked looking at the front and rear!

Gross! Yuck.

bmrm396 · 01-09-2013, 03:31 PM

I dont see this improving their sales numbers

YUCK

iczer34 · 01-09-2013, 03:44 PM

I may be in the minority...but I actually like it. It speaks to me on a very personal level, similar to when I have bowel movements.

This is exactly what I thought too!

r3dbimmer89 · 01-09-2013, 04:08 PM

This design is so disappointing and akward...the front looks like bacterial infection and the rear looks like a futuristic TSX. The interior is really nice though... the only thing I would remotely consider in the Lexus line-up is the GS. It's the only thing that is wearing that Predator front end nicely.

akcheng · 01-09-2013, 04:10 PM

from the side, it almost looks like a TSX...fail Lexus

宝马.e90 · 01-09-2013, 04:10 PM

Exterior is awful. Interior, huge improvement over last generation.

Tsuvoi · 01-09-2013, 04:13 PM

Looks like a Hyundai

Tsuvoi · 01-09-2013, 04:19 PM

Haha I checked some Lexus internet forum and they really DO like it! This is what one of them said:

"looks like it eats babies. german babies.:

Side n Back profiles, ok

mackacosha · 01-09-2013, 04:20 PM

I personally like the new design. It's unique and the interior is laid out nicely, I am loving the LFA gauges, knowing the driving reputation Lexus has I am sure it's flawless and offers extreme amounts of comfort. Can't wait to see what the ISF has to offer performance wise..
