doesn't seem like much thought went into producing this coupe. i actually like the 4-door too. but this looks as though they rushed through the process just to introduce a coupe.

Man, I think I just blew chunks. JUST when I thought they couldn't make the IS any uglier than the IS-F, they go and throw this out in public.

WHAT THE HELL. They took what little consistency there was to the IS design and shat on it. Look at the front brake ducts. Wtf, they're melting. Oh, and hey, they threw in fogs in a random spot it looks like. Look at the taillights. They're garishly large, don't flow into ANYTHING, and just look tacky. The rear hump and super long rear decklid is an atrocity, and the A-pillar looks way too short. It looks thrown together.

Holy hell this thing is pure garbage.

If Lexus made the bumpers more unique, gave the grille less slats, and gave the body more detail in general I think it would look good. I'm glad it doesnt have chrome trim around the windows though, that's a good thing.

overall 6/10, that said I dont like many cabrios, not even the 335i cabrio. It looks fussy and the roof looks weird.
no need for me to say anything more
