Design & Style Highlights

- Visual cues: low, wide stance; layered trunk edge; diffuser/exhaust emphasize sportiness.
- Dark paint makes the spoiler read as a seamless extension rather than a contrasting add-on.
- Full-width LED tail lamp and centered LEXUS wordmark create a modern, unified rear identity.
- Design intent: premium, technology-forward styling rather than overt track aggression.
- Taller stance and cleaner rear surfaces prioritize refinement and brand signaling.

Takeaways
The IS300 image — especially with the duck-bill spoiler — reads as an owner or builder making a performance statement: aggressive, low, and visually loud. The 2022 NX rear presents Lexus's modern luxury language: clean surfaces, a continuous light signature, and a centered wordmark that together emphasize brand identity and contemporary style.
