Hadn't seen one of these on the road 'till today. Definitely caught my eye compared to the usual hatch. Undecided on the rear though..

Looks very Mazda to my eyes. Still, it'll be a nice place to sit, as most Lexus are.

Seen a few now and it's already blended into every modern hatch in my opinion.

Find the DRL odd too how they stop either side of the headlight

Saw one the other week.
As mentioned, does look Mazda like, but it looks wonderful!

I like the look of them from the front, but they just look way too long imo, looks more like an estate than a hatch

... Not the most practical car. I was having a good nose around when I was picking up my car and my first thought was that if you had young kids etc forget about putting a pushchair/pram etc in the back. No chance for that and anything else at the same time. It is well made and the controller thing is certainly more tactile than a rotating knob of the i-drive and suchlike. What did impress me was the quality of the paint and the overall finish - compared to the modern laughable paint a la BMW it is quality finish.

looks like a slightly 'pumped up' Auris.

And that thing is as dull as an episode of "Let's Watch Paint Dry with David Blunkett"

Is it just me or does that blue on have a look of the new Subaru hatchbacks to it?

The rear does look subaru-ish.

A 3 door hot version would be interesting!

I think I've seen two now, I can certainly see the appeal. I do think they look nice, but definitely aren't small.

Not a fan externally, really like the view from the driving seat though

Same here, not a fan of the shape of it. Seems too awkward for me. Interior looks classy as all Lexus' seem too be these days. Wouldn't buy one though.

Saw a black one of these today coming out of Esher towards Kingston. Odd number plate as it was a '53' plate - unless it was some sort of private plate, but its significance was lost on me. Nice enough car but quite bland, difficult to see how it will stand out.
