^ +1. I like the visual balance of having the LEXUS offsets the IS250/IS350.

I think they should bring back "Lexus" so that when Hyundai comes out with a new Lexus clone, people won't get confused

Why 2K11? Haha, wouldn't it be just as easy to type 2011?

Looks better w/ less emblems or names on the back. The oval "L" is enough to let people know what brand car it is! but then again it kinda does balance both sides... hmmm

Which letter or number are the holes located at? How far apart from each hole? Thanks.

I'm curious, would the "AWD" also have holes behind it ?
