Reader Dom hipped us to this li'l separated-at-birth happening, noting that the ass end of the new 3-Series coupe bears more than a passing resemblance to the new Lexus IS. That said, we like the Bimmer's styling more, but with the spate of Toyota-esque VW's lately, we think the boys and girls in Deutschland have been listening to a bit too much of the Vapors lately. Or inhaling them. One of the two. Maybe both.
