Exterior looks better than the 2IS but I really don't like it that much, the interior is beautiful though.

I wonder what kind of tech pkg will come with new model. So far I've seen Blind Spot Monitor button only, I guess I can't expect HUD display and around view camera like BMW 3 series. Wishful thinking...

Love the interior, saving opinions on exterior to seeing one in person but initial impression is "its ok"

Interior looks great.

Exterior looks borderline hideous (front end, mostly). Side profile looks fine. Rear profile looks fine.

I'll have to give it time. It might grow on me (I doubt it).

Even the 2013 GS350 had to grow on me and I think the 4GS looks much better than the 3IS.

Except it won't be like that at all. That was a concept car to a production car.

This is what the production car will look like, this is not a concept car.

If you look again at the material on the grill..It's not real it's just like some plastic cover up..Im sure the head lights won't look like that either. Who knows what they will do to the final production!

Umm the "Official Photos & Press Release" by Lexus USA today, solidifies what your looking at...

there is no plastic cover, it is all part of bumper design and probably very expensive to make.

I love the design overall and especially interior... not sure If i cant live with those front lights (plastic bumper going into lights), it just looks weird in the pics, as if I cant see it properly - 2D vs real life. It might end up looking a lot better in real life when you are able to see it completely.

But the back and interior... awesome.
