I dont have anything against it, but there aint much for it either! It just has a bit of a bland look about it, nothing exciting...

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.

hks786 · 10-02-2008, 05:20 AM

Oh look theres a black RX concept in the background with different wheels! I wonder if anything has changed. It looks great and might be the only thing to rival the X5. That's if it doesnt become bland after such a good concept!

Take the weight, comined with an auto / 2.5L and that car is going to be painfully slow.

LI E90 · 10-02-2008, 08:27 AM

Lexus is saving is IS350 for LA auto show.

Lexus will sell every one they can make, This will be a sales success

koreez88 · 10-02-2008, 08:31 AM

Sedan looks much much better imo. The rear looks really awkward here

KL2DC · 10-02-2008, 08:32 AM

Rear trunkline appears to be higher than necessary (especially where the rear glass meets the trunk), adds too much bulk to the design and looks clumsy. I agree the car looks a little bland, Lexus should've added a little more jewelry on the coupe/cabrio model to make it even more special than its sedan variants.

But I agree, Lexus will not have too much problems selling these.

Looks similar to the VW EOS, it is somewhat clunky.

gonzo · 10-02-2008, 10:02 AM

Rear side glass does not flow well...

Couch · 10-02-2008, 10:04 AM

It's as ugly as the SC430.
