the F-sport version, when in all black, looks good imho
This car's biggest style faltering (i may as well emphasize the style element because vehicles like these are often sold on styling alone) is that unlike it's direct competition, there is a signifiant difference between the proportions of the vert' vs. the sedan version. I would have thought that Toyota/Lexus, with all that R&D at their disposal, would have found a much cleaner way to make the rear end work. Simply put...it's ugly as hell because it's gotta fit that roof and the bodywork around it is not cleanly integrated at all
Positively though, i really like the Lexus IS, and my one major complaint about the sedan version is addressed with this model: the non-existant headroom, even worse than the CTS
However, to echo some of the other commenters, with a price like that, my interest in this car fades pretty fast. My favorite Lex 2-door is still the original SC300/400
