I'm beginning to see why Hoovey was excited about the exterior of the 3IS.

Excellent pictures! Aside from the extremely heavy camo of the front grille, I can see the rest of the design. These latest pics with the sunset lighting and shadows eliminate much of the swirly camo effectiveness 
. I love how pronounced the rear fender flares are, specifically noticeably more pronounced than the front fenders, a great improvement over the 2IS .
This is going to be one sharp, aggressive, and gorgeous car
. All that's really left to see is the grille and the interior.

Lexus is ****ing my is up! WTF! Is with that back end? Since when do I need a bigass shelf on the bumper of my car? Forcing that hideous spindle grill on me and this disgusting, overdone side vents that look like something off a dying cephalopod is bad enough. Now they have to shove a bunch of lights that look like an eight year old designed them on the back? As if thats not enough they can't even leave my beautiful window line alone? Then, to top it all off the whole car looks like it pulled an Oprah and got fat as f$&@! Goddamit Lexus. Stop screwing with the is! It looks AMAZING as is. If anything give it a better facia, a larger central intake with a shape that doesn't make the whole car look like its grinning, strip the tumor off the isf hood and fix what they screwed up on the sides and just leave the things alone....also fire whoever came up with the spindle grill. Infact fire them and then actually set them on fire...it's for the best I promise.

I honestly don't see people saying the 3IS is better looking than the 2IS. The 2IS is simply one of the all time great designs for sedans, still looking fresh 7/8 years later. The 3IS will be more aggressive looking and share more of a family resemblance.
