Still don't know anyone who likes the Acura beak, and they refuse to abandon it.

I always judge each model individually, I just know what I like or dislike when I see it in person.
I think the 2IS is much nicer inside and out then the 3IS too but I do give them credit and decided not to criticize them for trying to give it some flash and be more aggressive when many were asking for more aggressive looks. I think the tail end/tail lights hurt the 3 IS design, if those were better integrated I think it would be much nicer.

i agree that they are gaining the attention of other folks who never cared or payed any mind to lexus in the past.

just two weeks ago my mother told me that they were considering getting a brand new GX since they loved the styling of the new one. a little back history on my mother and step father, they love ford and have only owned ford and pontiac for like the last 20 years. i drove a lex for 10 years before i moved and they gave me crap for it for 9 of those years. hearing about my non repairs and non maintenance needed over those years must have finally sunk in, and the re-design was obviously the icing on the cake for them.

as much as i hate the GX and have been pushing for them to at least test drive the LX if they got a lexus it would make me smile deep down inside somewhere
