SPIED: The Third-Gen Lexus IS Comes Out From Hiding - How Much Will It Look like The LF-CC?

Recently showing itself off at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Lexus made the debut of the LF-CC concept car. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to take a good look at that vehicle and derive that its very likely the next-gen Lexus IS coupe.

That being said, we're a bit curious HOW MUCH that LF-CC will influence the next-gen IS, which has just been spotted for the first time in America.

The third-generation Lexus IS has been testing on the streets of America for the first time. Our spy shots show a heavily camouflaged prototype of what appears to be an almost production ready car.

The Japanese BMW 3-series rival will likely share the new company face and L-finesse design language, recently introduced by the new GS and LS models.

Ugly/shocking at first sight but it grows on you quick.

Interested to see if the Koreans even bother to change anything before they copy it and claim this as their own design after taking 40% off the sticker price.

The new IS seems to be taking more styling cues from the first generation (XE10) IS. Not a bad thing.
