I had a loaner 2012 IS350 and man, the ride is pretty hard. I'm guessing that this won't be any different. Kinda sad as I'm really looking forward to getting an IS. But if the ride isn't smooth, it's a turn off.
thats the trade off with getting a sportscar. The ES is there also if someone wants comfort in this segment.
With the black Motor Trend car, it appears the rear lights are individually LED's instead of light tubes (?)! Someone tell me Lexus did not go backwards here. The entire line-up has been getting light tubes!
Its just a "lighting" effect or angle....
Here is the "Ultra White" one again.. + Bonus "Clear" third brake light..

As a previous ES owner I can tell you that, while the ES is very comfortable and smooth, if you want any kind of ability to enjoy spirited driving...the ES doesn't work.
My hope for the IS would be that it would exhibit some of the duality of the GS. Its comfortable, rides great, but then when you want it to it can really carve up some twisty roads.
I wish Lexus would lowered the car even more for F-sport models. It still looks like a truck with so much gap for car that has so much sporty features and style.
ive seen the new IS in person at the Houston Auto Show, the tailights look a lot tamer and less exaggerated in person. For some reason they look massive in the pictures.

looks fine in the last picture, the other pics are bad angles
Agreed, looks disjointed, where the C pillar meets the trunk, it appears the designers feel asleep and hurried the design, does not flow as current model.

Yeah some angle it looks like the gap is even bigger than current stock height.
