love the interior. exterior is too busy and not elegant to me, but sporty and aggressive. pics are of a white car though which doesn't help.

Only comments so far:

(1) The 2014 IS looks dead sexy overall and it seems like they went pretty dramatic on the front end. I can't really see it in any detail here, so I'll have to reserve final judgement for higher res pics. I like the confidence in design that Lexus is showing.

(2) I wish the tail pipes were integrated into the bumper like the LS and GS.

Wow.

(1) It looks dead sexy overall and they went pretty dramatic on the front end, which I am not sure that I love as much as the rest of the design. I want to say that the hood needs a central crease/line like the new LS to add some muscle. This is a very handsome mix of aggression and sex appeal. I like the confidence in design that Lexus is showing.

(2) I wish the tail pipes were integrated into the bumper like the LS and GS.

Not really a fan of the front, but the rest of the car looks good.

If the rear seating has improved, I may be tempted to get the IS-F version. Looks really really sexy from the larger pics.
