If you think that is the ugliest car you have ever seen, then you have some interesting taste. Sure, that design has some busy elements to it, but at least it is aggressive. It appears they are going for the look of an affordable LFA. I can think of many other designs that I would label ugly over that Lexus concept. The Pontiac Aztek comes to mind.

Put me down for don't like. The shape of the car is nice, seems smallish too which is a plus, but the overall package is just not doing it for me. And that fender whatever ruins the car, yes, ruins it. Looks so out of place and out of taste and out of color. Add to this the fact the car will cost significantly more than a 3 series that seals it, not worth it over the current 3. Very dissapointed because the renders looked good

Wow... Anybody remember how Pontiac always put plastic bits all over their cars in the name of excitement? Well... That stupid looking black plastic thing (probably non-functional) behind the front wheel-wells would look great on. Grand Am.

Man I'd never shoot a Canadian period, but maybe wait until the full reveal before you write it off completely.

Did you notice a different shape rear headrests on pic #6? Could this be rear sport bucket seats?

Agreed Kraut... I was mentioning earlier in the thread that even Lexus was not using the vent on the IS coupe (so I wanted to ad a pic)

It will be interesting, and good for more competition to raise the bar for all the cars in this segment that gets my I-cant-get-enough-sexy-(2-DOOR)-coupes genes pumping proteins.

Oh and that little side vent could actually be functional, the front air curtain brings in cool air for brake cooling and the side vents acts as an exhaust for the hot air from the brakes. I will have a look to confirm when I see one in person.

Great job mocking this up.

Frankly, I am disappointed. If they were going to add a side scoop, they should have went all out and did what the GTR does:

So far a huge improvement from the side anyway, save the vent because it is hard to make much of it, other than the fatalistic proportions.
