    I'm seeing a lot of styling touches from the IS. The lines on the hood, the shapes of the corner vents and front grille, and the wheel design on the F Sport all remind me of the same features on my IS 350 F Sport, which is a good thing! I have to wonder if those will be implemented across the Lexus model range - along with the horizontal Lexus script on the back.
