Maybe they were distracted by the beauty of the rest of the car. If people don't notice the headlight washers on the IS they'll surly notice the Nike symbols under the headlights. Another questionable design call IMO.

Also note that camera lenses (especially wide angle lenses) can distort the image, so what you see here may in fact be slightly off from the real thing.

What lens do you use that makes something look like it's made out of cheap plastic?

they should have had the interior like this, instead of chopping it up

Nike "symbols" are the same as in any other Lexus, just outside the headlight and headlight washers are awesome.... everything doesnt have to be the same all the time.

Don't let the photos fool you.
cool, hows the central console for the non-nav model in real life? since i dont want nav in mine anymore.

And different != better either. It looks tacky vs classy, just like many other design decisions on the 3IS

I still can't get over how hideous the rear diffuser looks.. Hopefully there will be some nice aftermarket diffusers to replace that.. (hint* Toms )

I don't doubt you think that. Some people like tacky/gaudy designs.
