and the IS-F exhaust, have you guys heard of the 240Z 432?
Wouldnt be surprised if they were inspired by this.

It was already established that audi had the exhaust cutout-inside-the-bumper look:

Oops, nevermind about that if it's 2003.
Anyways, Cocobun was talking about the trapezoid shape of the exhaust.
Don't forget the new mazda 6:

The yellow school bus outlet is the most functional so far, now that's some straight ahead styling.

Dear Lexus,
To answer your question:
Paint it red, give it an up-right-horse emblem and charge people an arm and leg then even your fart will smell good...
Yours truly,
Ferrari
