My only problem with the lexus, is i dont think there is a single brand out there that is more feminine. Have you ever seen a badass lexus? no.
Ive even driven the IS-F, hated it. thought it was the best example of an imitation sports car in the world.

Gee, can nobody read? This sub forum is called "Other Cars Discussion".
Give Lexus where credit is due. They make great cars, although people tend to think that they have no "soul" (myself included). It's NOT an overpriced Toyota...though you could justify that for their ES and LX. IMO, everyone who seems to have this sentiment to their cars looking fugly tend to see this way towards ANY Japanese car or any Asian kind of car.

Really someone brought this 2 1/2 year old thread up to say "This website is called Camaro5.... not Lexus5"? hahaha This is the Other car subforum!
Anyways some of them look nice, but that being said I would rather have a Audi/Mercedes/BMW over a Lexus/Infiniti/Acura aka glorified Toyota/Nissan/Honda
