I am not impressed. Toyota Mark used to be more aggressive looking than other Toyota sedans, but not this generation. The North American version Camry SE is not far behind of this new Mark X as far as sportiness of the exterior styling is concerned. Both Lexus IS and the new GS F sport look classier and sportier than this new Mark X. In fact this new Mark X looks like last gen Camry with aftermarket rear bumper cover. At least to me this new one has lost the charisma the previous Marks had.

Love the front. The rear is rather conservative like the previous Mark X though. And the insistence on using a 4-spoke steering wheel baffles me. Even the LS switches to a more sporty looking semi-3-spoke now.

It is a 3-spoke design on the steering wheel, it's just a split lower spoke. But the fact is it comes to 'one point' and that is a vertical position. If it were an original 4-spoke design you'd have the splits raised more at an angle and not straight down. The G-Sports version looks awesome.
