lol - the vague comparison to the mazda wasn't meant negatively - the mazda 6 has been reviewed positively almost universally. of course it's a 4 door regular sedan, not a sporty coupe.

the rc is nice! it does remind me of something else, maybe from europe, but can't quite pin it down.

Wow, just WOW.


That profile couldn't be more sexy. It's gorgeous and glad that Lexus remove the ambar, yellowish side turn signal fron the rear!

OMG it looks awesome!!

I was a negative critic of the 3IS but Lexus have totally redeemed themselves with this!

They have somehow managed to blend the smooth & luxury design of previous Lexus with the new sporty Lexus design scheme and the result is fantastic. It will also look 10x better in person!

And the interior seems to have gotten a vast improvement over the 3IS

I'm impressed so far..

Love the side view. Love the rear view (despite those odd vents). Love those headlights.

The grille? O.o


Odd that putting on a plate actually helps the look in this case... anyone agree? Helps "cut" the wide expanse of black in the middle.


Hopefully the F-Sport version will improve the look of the grille... But I'm also balking at the imagined visual of that massive black area ALL in one continuous mesh. Yikes!

The steering wheel buttons are a huge improvement from the round ones in the 3IS.

car looks amazing... i am sure F-Sport will be better too.

It is close to the IS but just better... interior is similar but seems to have few things "solved" from what people complain about 3IS.

I want to get this car... it needs to have space in the back so 2 kids can sit properly, at least as "good" as 2IS :-).

And headroom.
Hell lets hope the rear seats can accomodate people at the very least. Unlike the brz/ft86 -_-

Makes the BMW 4 series look like warmed over leftovers.
I have seen a 435i M-sport in a beautiful blue paint on the road few times. It looks great, much better than the 3-series.
