This pull back headlight is not bad compared to the latest ES300 - that I think is too "pulled back" for my tastes. This one on the IS though is very nice.
The whole car has a very nice "taut" look to it. If the 3rd GS had looked more like this, it would have looked even better!

The headlights on the new IS are gorgeous !

ahhh it's ok,not what I expe...............SIKE!!!!!!HOLY CRAP 
Lexus has done it again.This is by far one of the most beautiful cars I've seen comeout of Lexus.I love the new GS butI think the styling works a litle better here.I literally suffered from insomnia yesterday because of the anticipation of this vehicle. Great job Lexus!! I hope there's a manual.BMW's might drive beautifully but they still look like rat turds,hope the IS has the same driving dynamics.

Imagine a mercury cougar that was shaped like a sedan and a little bigger. Thats exactly what this IS looks like in my opinion. Like i said in another post, not a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Id take the Acura TL over this car ANYDAY. The TL looks sharper, more aggresive, sleeker and its very refined from inside. TL is a far better value at about 32K and some change, and extremely attractive, particularly in its anthracite gray color
the new IS is a hell lot better than the mercedes C class. That C lass is the ugliest sedan on the road, i think. What the hell were mercedes thinking???!?!!!?!?!?

/IS over the TL any day. The TL is good looking as Acura tried to make it look RWD. We don't even know the price of the new IS and you'll take an older car over it?
And I also think the C-class looks gorgous, even more so with the new updates.

Are any of the specs out yet??also,how long before we see any of these babies on the road?I'm kinda glad tha Altezzas didn't make the final cut.They were gorgeous when they came out,but the damn aftermarket ruined them.
