The designer of the current 2021 IS exterior is a great guy. I got a chance to meet him at the LA Auto Show many years ago during the debut of the Lexus LF-CC concept debut. His official title:
Lexus International Chief Designer Kenichi Hirai
I hope he gets promoted to Head of Lexus Design, which I believe is currently Koichi Suga.
Koichi Suga - General Manager, Lexus Design - Lexus LS 4th Generation
What are you working on now?
Suga:“I don’t have a specific project because I’m now general manager of Lexus Design Division, so I have to manage our team of designers and guide the brand’s design direction. It’s a fun job educating these young designers.”

I personally think the LS was a huge disappointment in execution from concept to production. I hope he allows the new guard to take over soon.
