Most people who over-criticized the design of the 2013 GS ended up liking it.
Same will go for the new IS, don't ask me how I know.

I'd like to see that survey? The people I talked to are like me in that it is still but azz ugly but had enough performance upgrades (FINALLY) to tolerate the mugliness...
I've yet to see one in NYC on the road.
Difference in learning to live with it versus liking it. Pretty sure if Lexus came out tomorrow and said that the model was only going to run for one year before they changed the design, there would hardly be a ripple in the water of people protesting.

The new GS has grown on me. After seeing several in person with and without the F-Sport kit I'm really liking it. I believe the new IS will be just the same. Let's go AMG Killer!!

IS-F coupe is probably not considered as a sport car, but it may be a super coupe.

Like the previous generation, are the power outputs for the upcoming IS-F still within range of the upcoming M3?

I just hope they dont do something lame with power output like they did with the "new" LS. They only added 6 HP. What a joke
