"New Lexus IS features fresh styling, new tech and enhanced chassis" says the Autocar headline. Oh, but then goes on to say that it is not coming to Europe.

Seems a shame. Yes, the styling has always been divisive, but now that huge and ugly front grilles are on BMW's, Mercs and Audis, the Lexus almost seems stylish in comparison. Europe will still get the ES.
I drove an IS hybrid when they first came out in F Sport spec and it felt really well screwed together and disguised the hybrid / CVT combo really well. It was maybe 7-8 years ahead of it's time as diesels of course were the big thing in that period.
Looks like the German exec saloon holy trinity are going to see off all the opposition in turn. How dull the market will be then.
