Maybe the actual design might look better but we'll see. For now, I prefer the 1IS and 2IS design.

That is some major fail! I guess it's a good thing I bought a Lexus and it should last 200,000 plus miles...cause at this rate looks like I'll be driving it for a long time!

Interesting, but it needs to be refined. The gaping hole in the front kind of reminds me of a Jaguar.

I also have an issue with all the internet copycat language crap....this is a fail, that is a fail. It's poor grammar and sentence formation. Some internet junkie said it and all the youngsters think it's cool and the latest thing to say so they repeat it.

Lexus owners are an individualistic crowd who lead and not follow. Come up with your own witty thing to say.

As for the car, why even spew the emotional responses? Lexus is famous for not revealing future designs until they are ready so this render from a mag is prolly so far off it ain't funny. If it is close to reality it doesn't look so bad to me. Copying Hyundai is not so weird now that they are making better looking cars. Let's just wait. Whatever Lexus comes up with is sure to be an improvement over the current model. The car is too important to sales success.

that is a very poor artists rendering..there isnt even the slightest hint of an IS in there...
idk about you guys but 1IS and 2IS both share many similar exterior stylings such as their more prominent lines, but this 3IS looks nothing like any generation IS..

if this is really what the 3IS will look like, ill take my 2IS any day of the week.

Doesn't look bad, kinda like it. Doesn't look like a Lexus at all, but imagine it in a Lexusy design.

Also, from what I see, it's more GS than IS.

"Render" is used as a noun in this sentence, but "render" (as you meant it at least) is not a noun. I assume you meant "rendering." Also, "ain't" is not a word, nor is "prolly." FAIL!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

If Lexus can design the HS250.. I am concern about the 3 IS.. anything is possible.

Unless its a JDM mag chances are this pic is just an artistic rendering of what they think.....

Also I haven't heard any of that engine info.

Take it with a grain of salt.

I kinda like it. I'm pretty sure it's going to look better when it comes out.
