The 2011 is ok, but that one and the two other previous model years have given me no reason to trade my '08 IS350 sport for a newer model. I love my car's looks and performance. Btw, I don't like the '09 tail lights, or the lobster claw wheels either. My gun metal wheels are classic. If anything, I'll be waiting to see what the the 3rd generation IS will look like.

I wouldn't mind losing my AFS for the new LED blackout housing headlights.

I never knew what the lobster claw wheels looked like until you guys were mentioning it. Then I saw, and I agree. I don't like them either. To me they look rather....sedan-y.

But then again I think people eventually change their wheels anyway.

The headliner & pillars are now Black for 2011, BUT only in the F-Sport Pkg..

Which bascially now mimics the IS-F interior trimmings..

and the black center caps and the fog lights and the front grills and the trunk spolier..
I can keep going.. LoL

i think the car overall looks fine, the led drl's are too reminiscent of audi's so i'm on the fence on those...not sure. i like the ultra blue in the commercial though

I like the 11' model overall as well. I am not sure why you guys don't like the taillights on the newer models though, they look cool to me.
