Not sure how the hell a thread about the next 3 series became something to **** on the IS on (and well you missed badly). As a matter of fact by saying the IS looks bad, I have to question anything you think looks good.
No it doesn't need one badly and if anything the IS has the best styling in class with the C-class and its a selling point. Most agree the IS is a fantastic looking car.
Sorry you need some serious eye work done. The IS styling is tremendous, still looks crisp and taunt. The A4 HAS to have the sport package/big wheels to look decent, otherwise it looks like any Audi the last 30 years which means it looks nice but well the same.
The 3 is a rendering, not going to compare it.

You make me shudder......to think the IS250 with those 16 inch rims sure make the IS look fantastic....have you seen an IS with 16 inch rims? what a joke

I agree with joe80..it needs a redesign, not badly but soon....and the sooner they get an idrive like controller in the interior, the better.....the interior while good more with the TSX than it does with the likes of superb A4 or trendy 3 series.

This is about the NEW 3 series, not that you think the IS is ugly (which is pretty absurd). By calling the IS ugly you have told everyone your eye for design is not very good. Period.
Thanks for ranting on the HS in one thread and now the IS in another thread when both were about another car.

Show me an IS with 16" wheels. You can't b/c the smallest size is 17". And it still looks good.

That is ridiculous as you don't need remote touch to make the interior better. That is a piece of technology. The A4 and IS are considered the best interiors in class and even 3 series owners here will tell you the interior is something that could be improved upon.

I never called the IS ugly, its not a bad looking car, its just not as significant or powerful looking as the A4 or 3 series.

So to tell you...but it does make the interior better. Lexus underestimated the iDrive controller and are now playing catch up to Audi, BMW, Merc and even Hyundai...

I am impressed that you compared the IS with Acura and Infiniti....that is where it really competes well with...it loses appeal when next to the A4 or 3 series

I have always thought the IS fits in between an Acura and a 3 series...it closer to a 1 series IMO
