Front: Lexus
Side/Rear: BMW Interior of the Lexus is similar to LFA and it does look good. At the end of the day German car for me. I just can't pay $50k for a Japanese car. It's not that they are no good but I feel my money is better spent on a German brand. The F10 needs to lose some weight though. |

I knew someone would bring up the weight, you have to remember BMW's curb weight (this is true for all German companies and a few others) includes the driver, 3/4 tank of gas and some luggage. I'm pretty sure Japanese curb weight is usually the car itself, sometimes even without its fluids or fuel.

It looks like Lexus stole some E9X M3 styling cues when doing the front bumper, and the rest of the car looks like an IS. Doesn't flow nearly as well as the BMW.

Yea; very curious if the Lexus exterior is the vision of one designer, or design by a committee of suits telling the artists what to sketch.

Lexus vs BMW... Are you kidding me... Lexus is MB kind, and even MB can beat it.
Japanese only has Infiniti that can come closer to Germans, but still.... Not comparable. |

The thing i hate most about lexus' is the terrible body lines along the rear door. For BMW's, the rear door flows very well. This lexus, along w/ the current IS, seems like the proportions just don't work. If you follow the rear door line (toward the trunk), it looks like a fat chick w/ a bra that's just too tight -- fat bulges. But, then again, fat chicks need loving too

Yay, Lexus finally adds LED light strips... because every modern luxury car must have LED light strips.

Sorry, I am not buying a toyota, they may be reliable but they suck when it comes to driving experience and I hate the retards who think Lexus is a hyped up brand and not a toyota....lmfao when I hear this stuff about people who call lexus as toyotas being fan boys, that is just idiotic....its a toyota and that is where it ends, I personally think people who spend money on a lexus over a toyota are literally pissing their money away
