The IS500 is bizarre to me. I don't hate it, I just don't get it. It's sort of an attempt to revive the ISF but with Lexus only dipping their toe in. Why does the IS500 look so generic? Where's the aggressiveness? I like that they dumped a V8 in it, but the styling is so bland (yes, I know it has quad tips and a raised hood).
Just an oddball to me. Either go all in on it or leave it be.
Wonder how they'll sell.

To be fair it cost them nothing to develop it. It's all old parts. So it's more of a cash grab on a dying platform.
That being said I still love it... NA 5.0L V8 that loves to growl wrapped in a super good looking car... if it didn't have so many shortcomings as a car in general I'd legitimately consider it.
