Everybody rips off designs from everyone in the car design world. Lexus and Mercedes have been taking from each other for some time.

I personally think every other vert in it's class is better looking, i.e. Volvo, Saab, BMW, etc.

It might be fun to drive but aesthetically, I don't find it overly appealing.

I guess we differ. I like the styling. The cockpit is cool tool with the paddle shifters, etc.
