Design & Style Highlights

IS300 (Duck-Bill Spoiler)
  • Aftermarket/bolt-on “duck-bill” spoiler amplifies the sedan’s performance silhouette.
  • 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.
2022 NX (Crossover)
  • 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.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Feature IS300 (Duck-Bill) 2022 NX (Crossover)
Stance & Impression Low, aggressive, performance-tuned Taller, presence-oriented, premium
Spoiler / Rear Lid Prominent duck-bill lip — aftermarket look Clean lid; no large spoiler; integrated design
Lighting Traditional cluster; emphasis on width via body lines Full-width LED blade unifies rear visually
Mood Sporty, bold, statement-making Modern, refined, technology-forward
Design Philosophy Individual/aftermarket performance expression OEM brand identity, cohesive luxury 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.
