Looking at GS, LS, ES, you'll can tell it looks like Toyota line or has Toyota gene. For IS, only the side looks like Toyota. The rest looks so agressive and UNIQUE. That's what we call good design.
Like old BMW, you can tell it's a BMW when it's approaching. Not like the new one like 5 or 3 series which looks more like Korean car.
For Lexus, you don't feel comfortable when yoru friends say that "Ah, it looks like a Toyota". What I want people say is "It's a so well-designed car, and looks very sporty/classy" on and on.
Whatever, beauty is in the eye of beholder. I'm just an outsider.
In case you're curious what I own, look here:

Warranty is about to expires (another 450 miles), so I'm considering IS as my next car. GS ride/handling cannot hold a candle for BMW's handling. However, I like IS because the front and rear looks so agressive, and car is small with excellent power 306hp for 3500lb car. Also, good ML system, nav, and Toyota simple, but quality things, are the main factor. Prestige is my lowest priority.
Anyhew, fun to join here
to learn about this car first because buying it. Plan for 2007 model or late 2006.
Best Regards.
