Come on now! Lexus has copied the best of class of whatever segment they're aiming for since they have been a nameplate, that's what they do!

:iagree:

Here is an overlay of the two photos. They are so close in profile that you can barely see the difference.

That is crazy.

This is all too common at Lexus... the IS is not to far from the 3 either.

Uhuh, everything is identical....they even got the shark fin going too. :tsk:
Well this is Lexus...they just don't have their own identity. It used to be the S-class in their previous generations.

BMW did a heck of a job facelifting the 7. I like it much better especially the trunk.

Those are great comparison pics. Sure they look the same, and Lexus might be copying stuff from other brands, but I can't say that I don't like the brand. Don't get me wrong, I'd buy a BMW over a Lexus any day, but I do like them.
Thanks for the pics :thumbup:

My mistake Sanguru, I meant to say repel.

BlueX5guy, that is scarily familiar! I don't know what I was thinking earlier. I guess I was just thinking of the rest of the angles too!

Can anyone find the W221 picture in a side angle like the 7er and the LS460? I tried searching for one but couldn't find it.

Lexus' new goal is BMW. I think they'll unveil the IS coupe when BMW unveils the 3coupe.

repel??? you might as well go flip burgers now...what did you get on your SAT's?? did you even spell your name right to get your 200??? :confused:
