I'm sold. I'm concerned about the factory stance, they'll probably raise it and have the wheels a bit more sunken it, but I hope not though.

the third photo down - the rear 3/4 view - looks remarkably similar to that of the previous and current generation acura tsx.

Front and Interior looks amazing. Taillights have got to go.. If they rounded it off instead of the tear shape point it would be much better.

Really? I like the rear, one of my fav parts of the design, especially the high diffuser look. the swoosh down taillights are a nice touch too, it's different. Straight back shots do look like a tsx though.

Very curvy. I like. That front end will look much better in person that it does in pics, where it looks flat and one dimensional.

Agreed. The same 3/4 view on 2IS looks a lot better.

The first production spindle grille without a divider! Where does one mount the license plate?

Like it overall.

These are obviously computer renderings. Hopefully this isn't a 100% production mockup. The interior looks nice. Not too crazy about the LED's and headlights being separate. The rear end, and rear sides have too much going on. Not a fan of the tail lights sloping down on the sides. Overall this look is very bold and aggressive. In a few weeks we should see the official preview. I'll be looking forward to that.

Too bad the headlights won't be interchangeable with the 2IS. Already I'm wondering how many no front plate tickets will be issued because in no way should the spindle grill be covered up at all. And Ryan's right...soon after the first 3IS vehicles hit the roads, the fog light mod will take place. The interior looks stunning- Lexus did a fine job crafting the inside. Can't wait for the official release!

No! I've always loved the Batman theme. Yours have looked so nice over the years. Then again, I'm biased towards black cars.
