Looks like the new IS is ready to convert quite a few souls on the fence from the dark side.

Welcome Arcangel! Hopefully we'll see you posting pics of you in a brand new IS350 real soon.

Also, on the feature note, does it has auto dimming mirrors?

Somehow it starts to look like a Celica to me, particularly the black one.

both of those are great chops! although the holes in the front bumper on the first one need to be a bit smaller. IMO.

i wish someone would change the color to CWP though. i would, but i don't know how to do it.

Is it just me or the new Lexus cars look so "finished" they just need big brakes, a drop and bigger wheels tires to look done?

That's the exact same thought I have had since I first saw this car.

very weird, maybe something is missing. i have seen PS job on the 3gs, and they all look very good. but these 2IS PS look pretty funny... somehow i thought of the scions @_@

maybe not low enough? somehow the rear look off to me

The bigger brakes would be enough - I wouldn't have done anything else to the show car in Geneva.

Default Lexus wants my business

It appears that Lexus is not trying to push me away from the marque afterwall as was my intentions with the new GS. If the new IS350 is +300hp, I will trade in my current GS for one quick like. A convertible would look good.

thanks Henry, it appears that Lexus continues the trend of missing an ingredient to make a true sports sedan. No Manual? Gheesh. Well I suppose when we pick up a RX330 we will technically still be a Lexus family, but no new GS is in my future. IS350 with+300hp and manual? It would be a two car Lexus garage.
