Default IS best looking car on the road?

In its class I think the IS is the best looking car on the road. That is all.

I must admit that there has been many times since ive gotten the car ive parked and while walking away i would turn my head and simply stare for a second or two or three actually ... at the lines of the IS and admire it. Granted it is a new style and flavor of the month or year until the next "new" car comes out but for now its got to be the sweetest looking car on the road.

I still do that 7 months later...... I just can't get enough of it.

For a sedan, I agree it's the best looking in it's class right now. IMO it's probably the best looking sedan from Lexus to-date.

I would agree. The styling and features are what sold me on this car over virtually every other car available.

2IS all the way. I didn't even think twice when purchasing the car. The IS350 is second to none in terms of looks and accessories for the money imo!

As much as I would love to say that my car is the best looking on the road, it just isn't true. The 2IS has a sleek and sexy appeal on the outside, but it needs a little more refinement on the inside. Lexus relies on the aesthetics of subtle design, and will never be "drop dead gorgeous."

As for exteriors, I still believe that the most sexy cars out on the road are that of Aston Martin. The DB9 and Vantage oozes sexiness, and the Vanquish adds an aggressive edge to that sex appeal. How can I compare it? The Vantage and DB9 and Vanquish = brunette, blonde, and redhead (respectively)...

I also love the exterior designs of Jaguar. For some reason, the British know how to make their cars look elegant, sophisticated, and curvateous. The XK and S-Series are beautiful. Too bad they're as reliable as cheap toasters.

American cars may not be the best looking cars on the road, but they know how to make their presence known on the road. Dodge is doing a good job making best "muscle" (looking) cars.

So, I guess to say that it's the "best" looking car out on the road, it depends on what you're looking for. "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder."

I wish I had an Aston Martin...

I do think the IS is the best looking and best overall car for the money but the car with the sexiest exterior to me has to be the CLS...

I agree, I wish I can have an Aston too , but I think the OP is only referring to the best in it's class.

After seeing 2 at our SELOC meet last ngiht, they are very good looking cars and very shapely, not a straight line anywhere.

Very good looking cars.
