Hasn't Lexus learned anything from Acura's spaceship styling and resulting sales disappointment?
Like the Acura TL, the Lexus IS used to be a genuine contender to the 3 Series. This new bizarre styling exercise puts it in a realm of its own. Well, a realm with one other, the TL. And maybe soon the Infiniti G replacement.
Oh well, it's all good news for the more conservative, but still bold, styling of BMW and company (Audi, Mercedes and even Cadillac with its slick new ATS). Probably even good news for Buick.
Lexus needs to refocus. And stop trying so hard.
Try. But not so hard.
Also, Lexus IS, 1994 called and wants its interior back.
