Toyota has been killing it with their exterior designs on all their newer model vehicles IMO

They have. The new UX, new Avalon TRD, new LS and now this look pretty good. Seems Lexus is getting more swoopy (ES, LS, LC) and elegant while Toyota is getting more F sport-ish and aggressive (Camry, Avalon, Supra). This could be a trend that could make its way to the new IS? Who knows.

The prior Mirai is one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen. this is polar opposite. art almost!

Agreed. I came up behind an Avalon the other day it looked GREAT....very un-Avalon compared to prior gens. Camry looks a little to "loud" for me but I like it. The Avalon was a bit more tame.
