    Lexus really needs new designers, the IS from the side looks like the 3 series and the LS looks like a 7 series. And it seems that the Lexus Antenna fin is from BMW… I doubt this thing is anything near an M3 killer, but I’ll reserve my judgment until after I drive the thing; tough the stats are impressive on paper.
