Ha, looking like a Lexus is a bad thing now???
Honesty, look at the last gen Lancer (cedia). In its basic form with OZ trim, its very easy to see how the design used elements of the orignal Altezza (IS300) in a more basic and boring shape. The Evo with its fender flares and wing strayed further from the IS look, but its evident in the proportions and C pillar shape. Japanese car makers are great a copying styling elements.
Back to the point, how is a sub $20,000 car looking like a Lexus a bad thing???

That $#!% is nasty! I want one sooo hard! They have really step up the class in that thing!. Look; pods, Nav, Electronic guages, Rear middle headrest... But I've gone too far in this Lancer to turn back now. Its either an 08' Ralliart/Evo or nothing. If I ever had a wreck though...I'd get it. 
Or an 08' Sentra SE-R V...

Your welcome BensLancer. Tristar is right though, when i look at my OZ sometimes it really does look like the Altezza but i thought i was the only one that noticed .

I think this Lancer is like a "pilot episode" for the newer Evolution. They'll look alike definitely. I figure it's a smart way to gauge interest in the new design.
What I'd really like to see is the return of the Eclipse GSX... :/
