Default they really screwed up the front end.

looks like a Bangle creation in this shot:

Default i think that is a p-shop from automobile mag

but i don't think the real version will look much better. to say nothing of the interior. though it will be mighty fast.

Default They can keep it. Not 425 HP but rather 400 HP. Here are some of the facts...

Default agreed, thats one fugly car. But if its 425 HP, it probably be quicker than the rs4....

of course thats a stupid statement without knowing anything about the car, but the damm thing cant weight more than 4000 lbs.

I agree. Looks like Lexus hired Bangle, got him drunk and sat him at a drawing board.

Default Not necessarily. It might be a torque-less wonder...

In any case it's fugly.
