SUP, the rear of the new IS 250/350 kinda looks similar to the grey IS you posted except the tail lights were larger and did not fade into the rear fender. I did get the feeling that the rear end kinda resembles a Nissan Maxima. As for the front, the lines where the middle section kinda buldges out were much closer than the grey IS you posted. The grill on the grey IS you posted looks similar to the older Camry's grill. If I remember correctly the new IS grill was much different than the grey IS posted. As for the head lights the new IS 250/350 were one piece, not two separate lights like the second and third generation GS. All of this is coming from memory and I only got a minute or two to view those pictures Amy allowed me to look at. I apologize for not being more descriptive. This is the best I can do.

If they can get the styling right and keep the reliability....watch out! ![Woohoo](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woohoo.gif)

If Lexus can keep the new IS350 under (or around 35k)), give it a 6-speed, and get to 60 in under 5 seconds then I may have to re-think my options. Hard to believe 300hp PLUS from a 3.5 V-6.

even if it's the same trend though, i would like some variations, like if you look at the headlights on the s class, e class, and c class, you can easily tell the difference. if they are all just 4 circles, i think that's a bad thing, my 2 cents
