Looks ok. The rear is all nice, simple surfaces, and then they stick the busy, crosshair-ridden front end from a normal CTS, just doesn't look right. Also wish it was more coupe in profile, and not hatchback.

And seriously Lexus what is takin so long with the IS coupe/convertible?

550hp and either six speed manual or automatic? I have a feeling those S5 buyers may not be thrilled with that prospect. If you're going to go through a lot of gas, might as well enjoy it.

That's just fine to me!

I'm probably the biggest Cadillac fan on here but I don't like the rear end treatment of this car at all

I like it. Very clean and agressive looking from every angle.

Looks hot, and if they can drop a good engine in that thing, it could be a serious seller, IMHO
