I don't like the front bumper and the slab sides, but I probably have to see it in person.

I can't wait to read the Legal Bill Test Drive Report.

Funny you say that Rob. I thought it looked great in person at the NY auto show, but in the pictures, I have the same reaction as you. Front end looks like a Volvo. The proportions remind me of the Acura TL, especially with the front overhang. But I swear, in person it looks very nice.

Nice, but looks like a Scion.

One of the better designs from Toyota in a long while. I was just at a Lexus dealer last week, and was reminded of how juvenile/tacky the original IS interior is/was. The new one seems more in keeping with the Lexus image. Still, Toyota/Lexus cars just don't do anything for me.

Doesn't appeal to me at all...but different strokes for different folks.

I like the front end profile, but the rear looks like the infamous Bangle-Butt of the new BMW's.
