Looks like any other Rice Rocket! Would still take the German proposition any day, I'm sure it will be quick though, is it coming to the UK?

Not sure, but I'd guess so.

As far as the looks go, I like the profile, but it seems to have been stolen from BMW!

It has a slushbox, but apparently the torque converter can be locked up so it mightn't be all that bad. At least Toyota are trying now!

Knowing Lexus it'll probably do an average of 8mpg

Looks like a mildly re-skinned 3 series. I remember all the promises and big talk from Lexus on previous "hot" versions of their cars - they squarely failed to deliver (a bit like Toyota in F1).

Lets hope they hit the mark with this latest one.
