I don't think that is a "poseur's car" at all. And this is coming from a BMW guy.
if I was to forget about style, the "feel good" stuff about a car i'd probably buy this, but no, I cannot ever see myself buying that thing, besides the fact that it costs premium money, it looks ridiculous, at that price tag, there are far better looking options

it's not all about looks, but if you are gonna pay with your kidneys then it better be something special which this lexus isn't, I wanted them to release the 2 door coupe much because it would actualy force the hand at the company I work with to release a better looking more powerful coupe sooner (rx-7 or not)
