thus, you probably get 10 people compliment your car in person and 1000 people say "that is one fugly motha f in their own cars"

Just as When people tell me "oh nice BMW" i would not be surprised when they turn around and say "fucking douche bags BMW drivers"

Really?

Lexus definitely has a bold and daring design language these days. Too much for some, but I personally like it. It's like Lexus said "people think we build bland looking cars? Fuck them. Watch this!"

Once manual transmissions become a thing of the past, which will be soon enough (I ain't buying a base model just for a manual!), I'll be looking to Lexus next. Can't wait!

Yep. They definitely have some bold design scheme going for all models.

Hell, the all new Camry looks much nicer than the previous ones. haha

People nowadays are so used to the bland sameness that even a masterpiece Citroen SM would be considered "ugly".
My co-worker has an 09, said his design is horrendous compared to the 2nd gen TSX...

this came from him lol.

Nice ride OP - enjoy!

As for the 4G hate - the 09-11 beak was appalling, and I had no interest in the car. The '12 refresh looked like a supermodel comparatively speaking. All it takes is a dash of paint on the grill and some tint and its a great looking, great performing sedan. The best part about abysmal sales? Great deals! I picked up my '12 SH-AWD w/tech in October 2011 and paid under invoice. I couldn't touch any of the competition for how little I paid for this car.
