Overall I think it looks quite okay, though not nearly as menacing looking as the current one.
Awesome shots, Jimmy. Looks like the guy in the M5 was busy taking pictures with his cell phone camera too. Good thing you've got a much better camera with you.

I guess the folks here on CL are the only ones that think the 2IS feels like the 3-series.
I agree with SICK when he says that the average driver will only use the BMW's superior handling ability maybe twice in their entire ownership (if they're lucky), but that doesn't change the fact that (afaik), most people find the road feel, steering feel, and overall "handling" of the BMW to be better.
Lexus can compete on it's own merits, and yes the IS is a great car; and if it "feels" better to you that's great, but you're in the minority.

I'm glad to see that they listened to the reviewers and are putting in the defeat button now work on getting the people a 6 speed manual and then Lexus can dominate the world...that is what you want isnt it? everyone to drive a Lexus? Personally i like a little variety...keeps all the car makers on their toes and not complacent

And you can keep the, what, 10% of drivers that actually drive a MT anymore?
