They must be talking from a stylistic perspective. Yeah it has 4 doors, 4 wheels too. It's not the largest car in the brand. The headlights are quirky too.
Of course both the IS and the Camry have twice as much displacement and more than twice as many HP under the hood. I wonder how they stretch that one.

It might be an upgrade or compliment for us, but certainly not for LS owners...

Wow. Unbunch your panties people. Saying that the Corolla has IS styling cues isn't a value judgment. It's still a good, nice, luxurious car. If you're gonna let a little marketing wind you up, maybe you should reevalute your priorities.
Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't care less. I don't drive/buy cars as status symbols. I buy them for what they can do. My GTO looked like a G6/ Cavalier/ Sunfire/ Monte Carlo but it ran the doors off of everything that ever tried to race me. My IS looks pretty, is comfortable, has all sorts of nice features, and will be great in the snow (even if it is slow as sin) I don't really care if someone tells me it looks like a Corolla. Even if I did, I could point to about 100 different things (sunshade, AWD, AFS HIDs, touchscreen MFD, dual zone, heated/vented seats.........) and ask "Can your Corolla do this?" and be done with it.
But I don't. Because I'm not insecure. You shouldn't be either.
