The problem isn't when they're park right next to each other. It's when you see the two cars on seperate occassions at seperate locations.

It use to be that I could not tell apart a C-class from a CLK-class if I were to see the car from the front view. It's not until I get very close where I can distinguish them.

maybe some people dont want to flaunt everything as much as benz & bmw owners
this is where the l-finesse comes in, low key but at the sametime elegant and beautiful

I don't think L finesse is all about the cars looking the same.

If you look at the LS and IS..they share about the same lines.

Chill, young man!!!
Did I say it's bad ????

I am simply saying the LS shares too many of its lines and proportion with the rest of the Lexus sedans. The earlier LS's looked more distinctive and I personally think that's how the flagship sedan of a brand should look. This is a discussion forum. You are entitled to express your opinion as am I. Don't get all pissy just because someone doesn't share your point of view.

Well I instantly knows it's a Toyota as there's little distinction in so called "L-Finesse" and what they've done with Camry, Avalon, Highlander, etc.

Good for you. From a distance on the highway when I first catch a Camry, ES, or LS on the highway I can't tell them apart. As I get closer, sure.

I will say dido to this, design wise I'd say Toyota and Lexus is closing the gap. Theres been plenty times that I've caught the side tail end of a Camery and thought it was an LS and needless to say theres been plenty times I mistaken the new IS for a Mazda.
