I think a lot of the look has to do with the placement of the rear wheels. It'll look better if the wheels were pushed towards the rear of the car about a foot. I personally think it looks better in the live shots (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=33) than on the promo shots.
But hasn't anyone notice the upside of this car?? CarScoop reports that the IS350C will come standard with a 6-speed manual! (http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/10...-high-res.html) Seriously, if that's the case, then to ask those MT fans out there, isn't this the answer that you were looking for? You wanted the IS350 engine with an MT and here you go! And if they can make the transmission work here...
transplant an IS350 with the transmission anyone?

Maybe I am in the minority here but I think this thing looks utterly and completely disgusting. I can't believe they are so far behind competitors, only to come out with such a horrible product. I was VERY enthusiastic and optimistic about the future of the IS. But at the moment I just see this as an inferior competitor to the E93.
Perhaps Lexus can win me back with the coupe version
