Default Next-Gen LS and IS photochops

IS up top and LS down on bottom.... note these are just photochops.





The IS chop reminds looks like a mix between the TSX and the Mazda3. The LS seems way to outrageous for Lexus more conservative stylings. Either way, these are simply p-chops

Interesting find. The LS looks like it was a photochopped LF-S, while the red IS has some HPX concept in it (grille). I get a kick out of the pic of the beige IS, those giant red "taillamps" make it look like a Buick LeSabre

I hope Lexus keeps the 2 tails light on the trunk(my wife calls them a-holes). That's one of the reasons I love the IS and GS. It sets them apart from the crowd.

TSX...absolutely. That was my first reaction when I saw it, too. Wonder if they got rid of the chrono gauges and went to the TSX-style electro-luminescent ones, too.

The LS looks like The Z with 4 doors

Wow, I know the LS shown above is a photochop of the LF-S, but that car looks hot.

I give it a big . I wish the next GS looked a little like that photo. (continues to beat a dead horse beyond the glue stage. )

Blah to both. The IS has everything I hate about the new 5 series. The curvy/sharp-edged door bottom, and the headlights that look like they're trying to be mean. If the front end and the lower door were fixed I think it'd be fine. Kinda scared about the back, but I liked the baby GS tail lights so I'm thinking it may folow the GS tail lights once again. That "LS" is straight jacked. The hood is waaaaay to long for the executive flagship luxury sedan. The current model is truly a beautiful thin and to knock it down to the level of that monstrosity would be a damn shame. Cars should be designed as if they were evolving like the GS has done for over ten years, and the curent LS to that...I see no relationship between the two.
