Who gets the 10 for exterior looks IS350, TL-S, or G35?

Just curious to see what some of you may consider the best overall looking car from the exterior. Take to consideration all these are from the 2008 model year. Thanks to all for any input.

If you're going to do something this subjective, at least make it a poll!

It's a matter of taste.




IMO

1. G35
2. IS350
3. TL-S

I just can't stand the TL-S wheels and the tails have just not grown on me. It still looks great though, which speaks volumes about the other 2. I wouldn't necessarily give the G35 a 10 though.

I prefer, "unispired"; then again, dog shit is pretty "unispired" too.



Exterior Styling only? Of the three offered:

TL-S > IS350 > G35

Harsh. I think there are better looking cars, but out of the three listed here, the G35 definitely is the looker.

If we're talking about all the competitors in this class, my vote goes to the new CTS.

IS350 > TL-S > G35. I've seen so many G35's on the road that it just watered my opinion down. About as common as a Civic in Cali. Although I would not mind owning one, one bit.

TL-S > IS350 > Dog turd > Dog that layed the turd > G35 sedan

Sorry, but the G35 sedan is an ugly duck...inside and out. And I don't like the TL-S's wheels or tail-lights either, but atleast you can easlily replace both, which you can't really do for the IS's Camry-looking rear end or the G sedans bloated curves.

335 >TL-S >IS >DOG SHIT > G35

335i has a sporty, but luxurious look. TL-S has a sleek, sporty, modern look that will continue to look modern for a bit, hell a 2003 TL still looks good in my opinion. The IS has sleek line with an agressive front, but the way the rear end is spoils it. Dog turd is basically dog turd, it may be green or black, maybe liquidy depending on the dog's condition. G35, infinitys sorry excuse for a redesign.

i say IS, G35, TL

Might just be because TL is the oldest, and the G didn't turn out that different from the old G, but still a lot better. IS has some weird lines, I don't like the hood, but usually they tend to make me rubber neck the most driving down the street, but still not a neck breaker. I loved the new IS when it first came out, and I thought it made the old IS just suddenly look 10 years older.

Since we're talking the 2008 model year...

G35 >>>>>>>> IS350 >>> TL-S

The TL-S looks like a TL with a bunch of parts from a random parts bin slapped on it. The graphite wheels are just far too boy-racer, as well as the clear tail lights.

Nope...SUV side mirrors, really fat/bloated side profile, ugly stock wheels, goofy "suprised look" front end, and an almost identical rear to the new Camry. Something looks off about the hood as well, I can't really describe it. My friend and I were walking to class, and there was an IS250 in the lot. Hes not the most educated guy when it comes to cars, but he said "what do you think of the new camry...my moms thinking of getting one"

Good thing they have a nice ass engine in there, otherwise i'd have zero respect for it

I liked the first gen IS much much much much better...
