2014 Lexus IS

Compact Luxury - sedan (rusty award)

​    With a final score of 42%, it seems that Lexus thought that maybe it didn't need to change something that wasn't broken.  Too bad they changed all the wrong things.  Maybe next time Lexus will get the hint that the IS design is getting old.

​Front End: C-
    Good: Snakeskin inspired grille and a perfect sized symbol
    Bad: One too many lower ducts and a lack of any attitude
Rear End: C-
    Good: Evil looking taillights
    Bad: An over sized bumper and lights which are cheaply added on
Side: D+
    Good: Sport appeal rims
    Bad: All too simple design in need of something
Overall Appeal: C-
    Good: Still has that sport and sex appeal
    Bad: Still has that same old sport and sex appeal
