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

Prissy · 01-09-2013, 01:30 PM

thats some ugly shit right there... excuse my language.

NAV8TT · 01-09-2013, 01:30 PM

Cheesy Lexus rear

AustinL · 01-09-2013, 01:32 PM

That steering wheel in Lexus...

Front is pretty cool and futuristic but the side is waaaaaay too American - just hidious. And yes I know Lexus is Japanese.

iceman335 · 01-09-2013, 01:33 PM

Not a fan of it, but this is the only thing I like more than the F30. I think Lexus got it directly from the LFA.

bavarian19 · 01-09-2013, 01:33 PM

The only design feature they got right on that car are the taillights.... and the fact that it has four wheels.

I like it. LFA-style gauge looks great(although the scaling looks a little off in photos), and I happen the like the odd-exterior style, especially the rear-end.

FLOSS M · 01-09-2013, 01:40 PM

one question?

Where do you mount the license plate on the front of the lexus

ESC OFF · 01-09-2013, 01:45 PM

I want to say something complementary about the Lexus......hmm, let me think, yep I got it.... "It's got nice black tires".....

Handozizle · 01-09-2013, 01:46 PM

What's up with that ugly grill/front end????? I'm kinda disappointed because I've always liked Lexus' newer designs.

soolman32 · 01-09-2013, 01:50 PM

Yet another reason why I can't stand Lexus... Proportions are all off. The interior isn't bad though.

efrost07 · 01-09-2013, 01:52 PM

Why is the badge backwards on the 2nd photo? And what environment did they shoot these "photos" in? Doesn't look like a remotely real background to me.

Jason may have switched it to make the comparison easier.

justinnum1 · 01-09-2013, 01:54 PM

F30>all

st3v · 01-09-2013, 01:55 PM

That thing is FUGLY! I wouldn't be caught dead in that Lexus...

RazBimmer · 01-09-2013, 01:56 PM

Yukk!

efrost07 · 01-09-2013, 01:59 PM

Well, I certainly agree with all the comments. Thanks for posting, it's nice to see the comparison.

JonoNZ · 01-09-2013, 02:00 PM

Sides and rear are quite nice really, front hideous and overstyled.

The Sage · 01-09-2013, 02:02 PM

4 door scion fr-s body style how i see it

buildbright · 01-09-2013, 02:03 PM

+1 The interior (Gauge cluster) and rear portion of the vehicle are nice

. The side view of the car is so plan it needs a body line. The front end looks like it will be great at scooping up all kind of road varmits and ex's. lol

DASHOCKER · 01-09-2013, 02:03 PM

i like this! this looks better than big brother GS and the f30 3 series.. I will have to drive it once it is out.

BMW vs. Mercedes vs. Audi vs. Lexus vs. Alfa Romeo (back in the game).

I do too, I absolutely love the GS, I think with some aftermarket wheels this might look really good. I'm look forward to seeing it in person.
