Is it just me or does the front end look really ugly, based on what can be seen through the cover?

The grill doesnt look like the spindle grill at all IMO. Looks more like a toyota emblem on the front.

Man, this is one of an ugly body shape ever in a camouflage. For sure it a big V6 corolla and look at that exhaust tips
. Time for me to think forward to a different sport sedan. But hey it will have super nice 13" Nav and all goodies like the new GS series.

Yea... I was holding out for the new model but that front end even with the camo is turning me to get a 2013 MY
Kinda reminds me of darth vaders helmet.

The more I look at those recent spy shots, the elements of earlier renderings of 3IS seem to be very close to what is exposed in the spy shots.
