This is definetely a big improvement over the old is300. not bad lexus..I'm just happy to see that the rear doesnt looks too much like a mazda like how the concept photos looked
& then the IS comes out & looks SOOO much like a slightly bigger 7 sleejker TC wit htwo esxtra doors....?
i like the styling .. .but reall ywish it was a bit more agressive & ALOT less like a BIG BRO to the TC.... especially as it will cost DOUBLE easily for a decent IS Vs a decent TC.......

it definitely hit the streets about 10-12 mo earlier...
i assume they were designed at roughly the same time .....
i am sure the IS was being designed as well atthe same time......
strange how three cars from different companies can look SO similar.....
i always thot the TC was REALLY like a down market "baby IS" when i 1st saw it & some features in that car are Much newer & very nice,...several would have been great to have in the IS now....
