Saw one at Cars and Coffee here in Irvine over the summer.  If you think the front end is ugly..that particular one we saw was orange.   [puke]

What, come on, it's 200 lbs lighter than a 740i sedan, only 700 lbs more than a Corvette, or 300 more than a Mustang or Camaro.

It's less than 4000 lbs, sheesh, waddayawant.

<Really, WTF>

That's the appropriate smiley, since it literally looks like the front end is about to blow chunks.  Or maybe it's pregnant and there's a 280z in there gestating.

Not much can replace the over engineered, under priced supra.  They should just bring back the 2jz with tweaks and new parts.

(I'd still rather have my neon srt)

And for the record, I think the car is make the beast with two backsing HOT!!!  Not toeing the company line, either.  Saw a couple at SEMA last week. 

The "spindle" grill that was introduced a few years back was an intentional departure from the fairly pedestrian face Lexus had in the past.  Yes, some love it and other hate it.  It's better than, "meh" if you ask me.

Is not so much the grill that's the problem.

More

Everything forward of the front tires.

Needs replaced. ;D

Much like the IS, it doesn't photograph well.

And if it drives anything like the previous IS-F, which I'm assuming it does better than, you would have 0.0 complaints behind the wheel.

I'd take the opportunity to drive one.

I've even had my eye on a brz. Cars are becoming cool to me again
