The styling on the original IS was fantastic, the chronograph dials and lest we forget, the lights that adorned many a 1.2 Punto and Fiesta 1.25 Zetec!!! The second generation IS was a fantastic car, great smooth V6 that made a lovely noise and sensible lines. The cabins were great and the technology usable and reliable.
Now we get crap four cylinder hybrids with horrendous Toyota infotainment units that look externally like Predator and Jay Leno's lovechild.
I really wanted to buy a Lexus this time, but they've really lost their way.

That's Melbourne, Australia, in the background.
Back to the car, it might look a bit less gopping if they had a little bit more texture sweeping across the maw from headlight to headlight; to put a bit more emphasis on the badge as forming that belt line.

Totally agree, loved my IS200, yes it wasn't the quickest thing but had a lovely chassis and was such a nice place to be, and as someone that loves watches the dashboard was stunning ....Now we get crap four cylinder hybrids with horrendous Toyota infotainment units that look externally like Predator and Jay Leno's lovechild.
