Same here! The Q is the first thing I saw. If they copied the IS, it would have looked better. Corolla (or VW Jetta) for teh body is dead on for me.

I don't see it.

I just learned that the Kia truck uses the frame of the last RX. Seems they bought them from Lexus when Lexus switched body styles. I always thought it looked like the RX.
