Agreed. The horizontal grille looks so weird without a front license plate. Fortunately that won't be an issue for most people living in where front license plates are required.

do we have more clear views of those 5 thick spoked wheels. It looks like the 5 thick spoke wheels are on the IS350 non F sports, then the 250 gets the multispoked wheels

When was the last time you've seen a longtitudinally mounted 4-cylinder in a Toyota? Glad they didn't just reuse the Camry Hybrid's powertrain.

The IS300h trunk with folding rear seats. Not completely flat and square like the AH 3 though. And the 3 does 4-2-4 split, more versatile than the IS's 6-4 split.

Nice update Joe! Even the non F-sport IS looks sporty and aggressive. Those mesh type wheels on the non F-sport goes well with it. They did a great job.
