Just a thought: for the most part, lexus is the only automake making gorgeous middle-class cars

[Goosemaster]

The new mazada speed6 and others are cool looking, but nothing touches offering from lexus.



sorry.


exceptions:

mazada speed 6
infiniti g35/m45
acura rl

 

[Rebasxer]

G35 coupe?

 

[nakedfrog]

I do think the Chrysler Sebring and 300 are pretty good looking. I don't find Lexus designs gorgeous, either.

weird. i was just thinking how sweeet the acura TL's and many of the Infiniti's were.

 

[PoPPeR]

I think some of the cars they have on the road now are just gross (current generation ES, RX, LS). I haven't seen the new IS in person yet. The GS is alright. I even have bias towards them since I used to drive one. The insides are great no doubt however

 

[PoPPeR]

yeah... G35, Acura TL are two goregous middle-class cars that come to my mind

 

[aphex]

Thats weird, didn't realize Mazda added another 'a' to their name.

Sebring? BWAHAHAHA!!! That is one of the most uninspiring designs since the k-car.

I guess it's all a matter of opinion

 

[vi edit]

The G35C, M45 & FX35/45 are sex on wheels.

IMHO Infiniti has one of the most desireable lineups out there with Lexus a close second.

If I could take Lexus interiors and dump them in the Infiniti frames with their respective Nissan powertrains, I'd be a happy camper.

And you think the designs posted by the OP are inspiring?
And one of the main factors I like about the Sebring is the grill.

My family has the current Lexus ES 330 and Infiniti G35 sedan.

the ES330 compared to cars 3 times the price has the most georgous interior very beautiful... not the greatest leather, but a beautiful interior.

G35, very sporty interior, GREAT leather. VERY FAST and handling is GREAT

they are on the complete ends of the spectrum when it comes to a cushy ride (es330) and great handling and fast(G35)

the acura TL is just lke the G35

OH..and THANK GAWD LEXUS FINALLY FIXED THE DAMNED UGLY IS car....damn, it was just like a damned honda CIVIC !!!!!!!

 

[ElFenix]

lexii aren't middle class cars

neither is an acura rl, g35, or m45

wtf are you smoking?

 

[vi edit]

FWIW, I also like pretty much every current Caddy out there with the exception of the thugtastic Escalade.

CTS, SRX, STS, and XLR are all very good looking cars and a great effort by GM. I don't agree with the pricing on many of them though.

i dont really think the gs series looks all that great personally.

i sat in the new IS and it is nice looking outside, but that car is really too expensive for a car with only 85.7 cubic feet of passenger volume inside.

i had a g35 coupe, and the rear leg room in that coupe is actually MORE than the is350/is250. is250 is too small, its smaller than the new civic inside i believe.

the gs is nicely sized, but i'd have to say the rear looks sort of funky.


m45 rear looks a little odd, the taillights are very large, the g35 interior is well.. pretty down market.

i tend to like the acura cars , but they are all fwd except the RL. i actually love the new RL, they seem to be fairly cheap too ~41k or so. and are fully loaded.

i guess there just are A LOT of very good cars out right now, competition is great.

I think the interior on the Q45 is comparable to a lexus interior..maybe even an M comes close to lexus interior.....

BUT..those are a lot more expensive than a beautifully interiored ES330

 

[radioouman]

I too like the Sebring (convertible)

That I can definitely agree with, on all counts.

Dude, it's all about Lexus. The new GS430 ($45k) is equipped with a 4.3 liter 300HP V8 while the very nice TL ($35k) has a 3.2 liter 258HP V6, while the elegant G35 ($31k) has an impressive 3.5 liter 298HP V6.

So they're all amazing looking vehicles with very nice performance. I think that it all boils down to what makes you tick. I'm just all about the Lexus. beautiful....

And the IS is nothing like a civic. It's a lexus, it's got a V6, everybody and their pet hamster doesn't have one, I've never seen an IS with 32 different colors on it, and they have an aura about them that no civic will ever think about obtaining....

i think the lexus' cars are far more luxury though, i tend to like that. much much quiter, toyota just knows how to make a quiet car.

i used to drive a g35. it was really noisy. noisier than my dads 9 year old camry. it did perform quite well in the straight, but for a luxury marque infiniti still needs to add some luxury.


the gs430 will become the gs460 soon and have 340ish hp, and the gs300 will become the gs350 with 300 ish hp. then we will be talking.


i think their sweetest car even though i am not the hugest fan of the rear styling will be the gs450h. living in LA i could really appreciate 320 hp and good fuel economy.
