Yup, like a car designed by committee and clinics rather than by a real person. There are SO many styling cues taken from this 'n that, I can't let my eyes rest on one for more than a few seconds at a time w/o experiencing eyestrain.
The IS looks like a car built solely to be given to rich kids upon graduation from high school. When I see an old fart who can actually afford them driving one, they just look silly, as though they were wearing the automotive equivalent of the giant, butthanging shorts that mallrats wear.
Around my town, a large proportion seem to be sporting chromed wheels, as if they weren't gaudy enough to begin with.
A fool and his money....
