Although technically no, you will notice that L-Finesses is not entirely new. For example, the RX has many of the same styling cues that is included in L-Finesses. The same goes for all of the models; they all share similar styling. The GS was just the first to use the new titled styling.

Default Lexus separated their design studio from Toyota..

and they wanted to create a new design language that was simple and elegant yet still had dynamic tension. The imagined movement of the car when standing still is exactly the emotion garnered by Lexus Finesse. The first designs were the Lexus Finesse concepts. HPX, LFC, LFS, and LFA. The first production car was the GS and now the IS sedan. The ES and LS will come next. This will culminate in two new coupe/convertibles one based on the IS and the SC replacement. I am not sure how the Lexus Finesse will be applied to an SUV. Anyway all Lexus SUV's are electronically limited to 112 MPH....The LFA should be able to push 180-200 MPH which as Bill Cosby said is necessary when you're late for work.....
