1st generation ES, UCF21, or 97-01 SC, 16 GS IMO.

The LS430 is the best looking Lexus to me.

the 2GS will always be a timeless design, had they incorporated the taillights in the 3GS then it would have been probably the best looking lexus hands down. but its a toss up between the aggressive look of the 2IS or the elegant but hip 2GS.

I'm surprised to hear so many votes for the SC. That's always been a very odd looking car to me.

If it were a coupe it would be on my list of all time greats of any brand. Even in sedan form, it is sweet. Just wish the interior space could accomodate us big guys. As for looks, it's the real deal in my book. My list:

1. IS350/250
2. 2000 LS400
3. 97+ SC300/400
4. 3GS
5. SC430
6. 1GS
7. LS430
8. 2GS
9. 1LS400
10. IS300
11. ES350
12. ES300
13. ES330
14. ES250
I completely forgot about the LS460. I'd put it in my 5th slot moving everything else down once notch.

Which SC are you talking about, the 430? If so, it's the uniqueness of it that has grown on me. Still not a big fan of it's shape but it has lots of style. I love unique designs.

The IS350... easily. Not only the best-looking but the best Lexus car overall. This car fully accomplishes its mission. If you offered me any car Lexus makes for free... I'd pass the GS, the LS, the ES and everything else and find me a black IS.

I think most of them meant the first-gen SC300/400, not the Audi-TT-look-alike.

If so, the 1st-gen SC gets my vote too. The 2nd-gen, IMO, was a styling disaster.
