So this is why they stop making the GFX? Cause a new one is out?

I would have to agree, the yellow isn't that bad. A little "aggressive" with the front lip, but it might offer a better alternative to say getting a Scion XA. Might even give you better MPG.

Excellent find. Good for some laughs.

The older front GFX lip looks more similar to the Yaris than the 09's, so I say Yaris stole that idea. Then to get back at them, the IS stole Yaris rear lip idea.

No shock. When you order OEM parts for your Lexus, it always comes labeled as a Toyota part.

well if you notice most manus are making distinctions for their own cars:
BMW has their signature kidney grills
Benz has their signature grill too
Mitsu has their funky nose
Acura is starting to have those guillotine grills

so it's a common trend .
