Nah. I mean im not being bias, but that needs improvement. They should keep it simple and plain. They are trying too hard with the design. I hope the suspension and brakes are heavily focused on If they hope to compete.

kingbriani · 12-06-2006, 06:53 PM

whoops, i think they messed up the exhaust, or they are on drugs.

Gearcraft · 12-06-2006, 07:33 PM

everything else looks fine except for the exhaust.

enwhykiid · 12-06-2006, 07:42 PM

unique to say the least current exterior is too bland for me though

ducati955 · 12-06-2006, 08:28 PM

i love it

John · 12-06-2006, 08:46 PM

those pipes look silly

diesel007 · 12-06-2006, 08:50 PM

I would like to see the whole rear before I rag on the exhaust design. Something different though .

ynotony · 12-06-2006, 08:57 PM

I love the exhaust. No reason not go for sexy on you "F" series.

I think it is one sexy ass.

Oz · 12-06-2006, 09:04 PM

Sorry guys but the tailpipes look hideous and the taillights looks just like the ones from the new Camry

More pics would be nice though..

Lexus IS Fucked

E91 Dude · 12-07-2006, 06:06 AM

I did this up in MSPaint. The tail pipes don't look all too ugly to me anymore. Unusual, but not ugly.

nmulax · 12-07-2006, 09:32 AM

with the exception of the tailpipes, it looks good.

Here's two quick photo-chops.
the first is the tried and true dual pipes, the second is a different take on the quad configuration.

nmulax · 12-07-2006, 09:33 AM

I also got rid of the white in the outer portion of the taillight.

ksfrogman · 12-07-2006, 10:46 AM

I'm not used to the look, but I guess it's okay. I like nmulax's ideas better.

ALPINE6SPD · 12-07-2006, 11:14 AM

None of this matters to me because you will not be able to get a stick with the car. This is a posueur sports sedan.

NaViT · 12-07-2006, 11:21 AM

thats not bad at all... its different and thats what they want.. a nice lexus with different style and great speed

The new M3 is gonna have an SMG, so whats the complaint? DOnt critisize the car before it comes out. The SMG is said to be terrible in the M5/M6, the main reason it came second to the Mercedes-Benz E63. The auto. in the Lexus and Mercedes is most-likely much smoother than the SMG, I think we should just wait until these cars are actually released before we jumo to conclusions.

vladinecko · 12-07-2006, 11:34 AM

here's my take on it

vladinecko · 12-07-2006, 11:34 AM

no seriously, that exhaust just looks plain goofy to me. but at least i'll get a good laugh every time i see that car in front of me.
