IS300 Wagon

I saw the IS300 wagon the other day in a parking lot near work. IMO, FUgly car...it just looks like someone bought a Corolla wagon and tried really hard to make it look sporty. I think that's it; looks like they are trying too hard. Not subtle.

I jus thad to see the title of the post to get instantly pissed!!! I wasn't aware that they had one, but if so.....UGH.....that should be outlawed. Seriously people, think about that.......AAAWWWWWWW (bitter beer face). I mean if the IS300 was a coupe.....it'd be an alright automobile, but the four door, with all the jacked up dials and funky tail-lights, etc. I just can't and don't want to imagine.

Are you sure it wasn't that new Mazda that looks similar to the IS300?

I rarely feel this way about a car..but the IS300 wagon is one of the ugliest mofo's I've seen in my life! The designer should get his balls cut off!!!!!!!

Yeah are you sure it wasnt a MAzda? I know they will be making one along with a coupe, but I know they are not out yet unless you happened to run across a "test mule" which I doubt.

I don't think the coupe has been confirmed yet like the wagon and manual have, but I'd like to see one.

That is pretty damn ugly. The only wagon I would get is the Audi S4 or BMW 540.

I actually like the Mazda more than the IS300 wagon

But both are still butt ugly.

The Mazda only looks better in the photo 'cause it's a motion pic, in comparison to the stand-still shot of the Lexus....but still they're both fowl and disgusting vehicles, and would never EVER encourage anyone to buy one of them.

Yeh, and once again Lexus has gone and copied a design from another manufacturer. It seems to me that every single car in their fleet resembles some other German or Jap car currently on the market. Not only the body styling has been copied, but also the RWD setup and having an inline six motor!

Am I wrong?

Shoot, now you got me wondering if I did see the Mazda...

That little logo on the grill looks pretty close. Maybe I couldn't tell because I had to avert my eyes from the FUgly thing.
