Just revealed 2014 Lexus IS F-Sport Compared to BMW F30 3 Series M Sport

Mahzari · 01-09-2013, 12:54 PM

What happened to the lights? Did the designer have a stroke?

Poppin Fresh · 01-09-2013, 12:56 PM

In 10 years the F30 M sport will look classy.

y u so ugli?

Greenkirby21 · 01-09-2013, 01:00 PM

The only good thing about this car is the LFA gauge

NYe60chrisIU · 01-09-2013, 01:01 PM

another "groundbreaking" design. but i think it will look 10 times better in person

fatgrandma · 01-09-2013, 01:04 PM

The front is ugly and funny at once. It somehow reminfs me of Charlie Chaplin

). The ass is sexy tho.

StevenY. · 01-09-2013, 01:05 PM

That is truly hideous.

kpjo4 · 01-09-2013, 01:08 PM

WTF TOYOTA?!?!?

F30AM · 01-09-2013, 01:08 PM

Oh dear. What a marvellous mess! Was the designer having an out of body moment?

mookie45 · 01-09-2013, 01:14 PM

how could Toyota make this their final design?! the current IS looks 100x better, smh.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 01-09-2013, 01:15 PM

Not a hater... but the Lexus looks freaking awful!

Whostheboss · 01-09-2013, 01:16 PM

That Lexus is ugly. It looks like they were having too much fun designing the car in Z-brush.

pkimM3r · 01-09-2013, 01:18 PM

wow the GS looks great but this IS is hideous. The only thing I like is the speedo!

Propagator · 01-09-2013, 01:19 PM

I don't find it that ugly. It is a bit overwrought, looks more like a concept car, so it will not age well. But it is certainly very interesting. We knew about the spindle grille for while, and overall it looks surprisingly similar to the LF-LC concept, which is quite striking.

The most interesting thing would be how this thing drives. The new GS is already known to be a better driver's car than the F10, so can the new IS be sportier than the F30?

LaMpiR · 01-09-2013, 01:19 PM

OMG! That is one ugly car!

Saphirschwarz · 01-09-2013, 01:22 PM

Its unbelievable... just when you thought japanese have learned from western design they come up with something like this.
What a joke... Cant they take a look at hyundai's for instance? Or even kia in certain ways.

What a grotesque car.

Vector Pilot · 01-09-2013, 01:23 PM

Photos comparison demonstrates a cultural/geographical divide and Lexus manges to make the F30 look sedate.

Alexzander23 · 01-09-2013, 01:23 PM

I'm really happy with what I got

...

Blaa · 01-09-2013, 01:25 PM

Too many wierd angels on the bodystyling, but I kinda like some details of the interior

bimmerjph · 01-09-2013, 01:26 PM

I cannot put to words how ugly I think that car is. I mean I know lexus has gone crazy the past few years, but that is just the most inelegant premium car I have ever seen. I don't care if it drives like an E30 M3 I would not buy it. That is how ugly I think the car is.

BMW269 · 01-09-2013, 01:28 PM

I like it. I'd pick the IS over F30, epecially if it drives better, and it likely does, when even an ATS drives "better". Interior is probably best in class now. It will be interesting: new C Class and new A4 to come. Hope I'll be soon back in a RWD Alfa Romeo though. Will be a very interesting battle in 2014. BMW vs. Mercedes vs. Audi vs. Lexus vs. Alfa Romeo (back in the game).
