those headlights and tail lights are stupid. i guess they think more people will buy it since it comes with ricer parts from the factory.

 

LMAo...rear light look ricey..
I like the projector lamps though

 

It's the Jay Dee eM look, yo! And it can't be RICE, because RICE is race inspired cosmetic enhancements. FWIW, I knew people who refused to buy the IS300 because the taillights looked too "riceboy" JDM.

 

I wouldn't exactly call replacement headlight and tail light units a "facelift." They could've at LEAST given it new friggin wheels!

What I always thought was dumb on these cars was that only the center third of the high mount stop lamp lens actually lights up. But at least it's clear - and clear equals COOL.

 

That's called a facelift?

 

Did they get those lights out of a JC Whitney catalog??

 

^No they got it from the Nissan Altima

 

Which means they got them from the IS 300

 

I like it! I wonder if there are any plans to bring it into Canada?

 

looks fine on Lexus, its cheap everywhere else :-).

It is facelift... what do you expect from Toyota facelifts? Interior looks nicer, and new audio options are great. Both audio in and ipod connections, and rear amp connection... what else can you ask really?

 

how about a real facelift

 

thinking same thing- and yes the lights and tails look really cheap-

 

It's funny because now the new Nissan Altima has VERY similar tails to the original tC tails.

 

Compared to other SUPER economy buys this one is ALOT better than the Kia Rio, Ford Focus, and Chevy Aveo.

 

More like a 'nip and tuck' rather than a facelift.
