^ the E46 IMO is one of the, if not the best looking 3 series.

7 years to change the current shape of the E90 has to be some kind of record. Any who, I never take renderings seriously, and won't comment until the car is revealed.

I have to say I need to see all three against each other. I think the Lexus IS has the weakest styling and the least significance out of this trio.

Why hasn't Lexus got on the LED trend yet?

IS is in it's 5th year into product life cycle, so it's no surprise that a redesign is due and in the works.

The spyshots of the 3-series don't show much.
