It's ugly with the top up.
It's ugly with the top down.
Lexus just doesn't seem able to make good looking coupes anymore.

I think the LX is the top seller in Dubai

and in Saudi Arabia, I'm guessing it's the ES350.

Car was marginal to begin with, but the smaller wheels take it to a new low. Overall, a thumbs down. Although there are bits and pieces of it I do like, such as the taillights lit up, white leather, and front air intake.
What Lexus should be focussing on is a new SC that harks back to the original and competes with the G37. Or at least make a conventional IS coupe like the 3-Series coupe. Chasing after segments that people are not asking for is a complete waste of time, money, and resources. I wish I could be at the Lexus board meeting and show the guy who green-lighted this car what the CL forum comments are.

We have a National Campaign for boycotting dealerships in the Gulf region which is called "LET IT RUST!", everyone are trying their best for not buying new (yeah.. rite) just because most dealerships have really high prices, and they let us wait for months even though the car is available here covered by sand.
