This top down view is the best view of the car IMO, and it should be the view you get walking up to the car. Interestingly it's also the best view of the CT IMO.
Perhaps this car will look far better in person, but still those fangs are just stupid and I will continue to complain about them.

i'm loving the design, can't wait to see what the F-Sport looks like!
from the vids i saw, the front is really chiseled that isn't captured well in photos. also loving the tail light design, the LED headlight option, and that gorgeous interior. i like what Lexus is doing with the design and focusing also on driving dynamics and performance aspects, hopefully they keep it up with the 3IS and next gen IS-F! (as a side note, the updates for 2012 IS-F is impressive, i'm loving it).
Now what they need to do is start introducing new engines and put in the 8-speed transmission in more of their cars, and give us more coupes! (real coupes, not hard-top convertible).

FYI....if history is any indication, Lexus always makes significant improvements in year two of a new model. I expect the LS tranny (or the GS460's tranny), an optional turbo or supercharged 6 (maybe a twin turbo four but that would be a stretch) and possibly new rims. From an eco perspective, Lexus missed the mark. Car should be 200 lbs lighter, get better mpg and and boast about a carbon fiber hood and trunk.
The car isn't a home run (more like a double stretched into a triple).
Other then a fresh exterior/interior, mechanically we're looking at a 2007-2011 GS350.
