It was much debated here and elsewhere Lexus prefered to copy design cues from other brands (BMW, MB, VW, ...).

I'm talking about "Lexus"-kink in rear-door window. It was originally featured on Dodge Neon in 1996.

Copy:

Are Lexus designers really incapable of inventing some design elements on their own???!!!

Even more: they are incapable to invent 2 different designs for their own vehicles. L(F)S is (will be) no more than enlarged IS. Sad, very sad!
