I love the interior, the front is cool but the back I dunno. I will have to see one in person to decide how much I like the exterior.

the GS-F sport also has black headliner.

this looks exactly like what it needs to look like, the younger brother of the GS.

Also, keep in mind this is the IS for the next 7 years or so, they need to make a design that will still look good in the end of it's cycle.

i think it's a sharp looking car!

No it wasn't. The new face of Lexus was inspired by the new face of Lexus, which was previwed by the LF CC and previously the LF LC and LF Gh. The headlights all feature the same look, it just was installed on the IS instead of a traditional headlight like the GS/LS.

Most here DID NOT get the opportunity to see the LF CC and you could see the new design of headlight and LED light that the IS uses. It has nothing to do with any past design, this is all new.

Here is a good angle showing the work of the headlights, it is not just a cutout.


LF Gh

I was talking about the general idea of having multiple creases beneath the headlight housing, which is what 2SwiFt29 was referring to as being similar to the FX. It first appeared on the Mark X, then the FX, and now the IS (or the LF-CC that previews it). But of course they are not implemented in exactly the same way.

The LF CC exterior should have been the new 3IS., I would definitely get the 3IS-C

Rear reminds me of a first generation TSX... It's frowning... It's sharp, but it doesnt look like it's executed right imo. Front is good! Interior is absolutely amazing!

Bad placement for the LED "Nike swoosh" not being a part of the main headlight. I keep looking at Nike Swooshes.
