The point is - "Do you like it or not?" That is a more important question than what it looks like. Why should it matter what it looks like if you hate it? Equally important, why should it matter what it looks like if you love it?

totally agree.... i already gave up about the whole issue of who looks like who... could be the case that a car looks like part of everything, but as long as the result is nice, it's a winner

The old "It looks like a Maxima, It looks like etc..." It's so old. Get over it if you don't like it.

I couldn't agree more with 1sicklex and Hameed.
A friend ask me, if I've seen the new GS and how it looks like this car, etc. Very old and tiring.
Any car is just really like 3 boxes put together, engine bay, cabin and trunk. It's funny that's so much going on about it looks like this or that... but yet the Chrysler 300 is Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" and my supervisor calls it the "fake Bentley" and it's all over the streets. As long as it looks good, that's all matters.

ts out of control. I'll start with Lexus. Lexus gets dogged for no styling bravado. Many times, the people that knock it have brands even blander. Lexus initiates L-Finesse, brings 3 concepts, LF-S, LF-C and LF-A. Did you see many concepts from other luxury car makers? Let alone 3? Well we finally have the GS and IS pics and its out of CONTROL how people are saying they look like this and that, blah blah blah. Its silly. And half of it are by people who just want to knock Lexus and just read what someone else says (it looks like a Mazda) and then, "it does look like a Mazda". Outside of Biker and Richie, NONE OF US have seen it in person!!
Now, for a car to resemble one other car, that is obvious. Like the 300C does resemble a Bentley Arange. That is obvious and to dispute is pretty silly. But its now out of control, with the IS its ridiculous
"It looks like a Mazda"
"it looks like an Acura"
"It looks like a Civic"
"It looks like a 5 without creases"
So I am looking at the car in the pics like others, and I'm like "What the hell are people looking at"? To me, it looks like what Lexus said it was, another product of L-finesse. IT doesn't even look like a baby GS to me. It just is the interpretation of the IS through L-finesse.
Its okay to state things that have a valid point. The LS 430 share some old S-class styling clues for instance. But now, people have NOTHING else to pick on about Lexus.
So many complained about the styling, you got styling, now its overly styled.
And we are not picking on you, its just we are getting tired of eveyrone saying something looks like this and that. Its out of control.
