They need to find a new marketing person for Lexus US, they pulled the same artsy crap with the LS release FAIL! They are missing the attended audience IMO.

But the video capture shows it on an F sport trimmed model and that is good news (at least for me.) I hope it makes to the US spec F sport. Link said content unavailable.

Has anyone heard of a possible Sportcross comeback?

Lexus Facebook page hinted it a week ago.......I haven't heard anything though.

Euro spec F-Sport will have cooled seats and heated steering wheel. Not sure if it will be like that in US.

Hate how there is no wood on the center console, just doors and passenger dash.

Yeah wish the black piece of plastic around the sport dial were wood to match the other panels like in the 2IS.

The Euro video did look nice though.

I guess I'm one of the few that's not liking it. I specially deslike the nike check LED incorporated into the bumper.

I think only club lexus is liking the car, all other forums, majority are against the new redesign.

I have a 2010 Is250awd, and will still be happy even after 2014 comes out. The cabin looks a bit too busy, and loses the simplicity that the current generation has.

The hand mouse, I tried on my sisters 2013 Rx, it is sort of annoying and can't be used while driving. Makes it more useful as a touch screen.

Exterior some angles look good, but front facia and rear seems out of whack.

The new GS and ES looks so much better then this design.

You are right. REally negative reaction on most blogs and forums. So strange cause i think it looks so much better than the current Gen (which is too feminine).
