The Lexus IS300 is a rebadged Toyota Altezza. The two are completely identical save for the front grille and engines...

Not true. Asian model / JDM models are much lighter. Different/ short front and rear bumpers. they dont have much of a bumper beam. RS200 models also had much lesser sound deadening than the USDM IS300

initially i felt bad for my mom who just got a 2013 is250 not too long ago, but now i dont know anymore

the video definitely makes it look better than the pictures. seems like lexus is trying too hard to be fun and sporty.

The front and sides of the car doesnt match..
Front is so aggressive while the side of the car is smooth... I like the side of the car... the body blends so well...

very aggressive looking, I kinda like it, it shows lexus is doing a similar approach to all their front end of their cars. grill looks a bit tacky though...

The new grill not growing on me yet

Quick photoshop, changed the grill up to what I find to be a bit more attractive...
