I can barely see the body lines showing through the swirls, and Burn's drawings help too. It looks to be a handsome car, I'm getting a bit of G37 vibe from it.

Just read a tidbit about what hybrid cars that can be used to haul trailers (mobilehomes/cargohaulers) Not quite sure what you guys call it Anyways the Lexus ISh can apparantly haul a trailer with max capacity/total weigth of 750kgs.

It also says the IS h will be on sale in europe in june next year

It's just taped to throw you off. That's not the shape

That's what I was thinking/hoping because it didn't make sense with every other model with the spindle. But the pics looked like it was solid.

Same with the bottom grill. Looks way wider than it shows.

Still the same amount of camo. Can't clearly see the design in the front.

The front end is incredibly hard to decipher, that swirly camo is very effective.

I am still inlove with the IS but since Lexus is planning to separate the Coupe to the CR350 might just jump on the coupe instead.
