I doubt the length is any different.

As for the front end. I don't like it very much but the front ends of new Toyota/Lexus models are designed to cause a reaction in possible buyers, Toyota/Lexus was dull and boring on the exteriors for so long, but not anymore.

I owned a 1995 Celica, some 20 years ago. There was nothing about that car that I thought was boring...except maybe for the low-powered engine.
