Those head lights look predatory. They are staring at you, piercing right thru you. They remind me of the eyes of an eagle and a cobra snake.

These look even more predatory, I like the sketches better.

The more I look at this car the more I like it. It has a pretty good size to it, not bad, not bad. Thanks for the pictures guy.

Wait, I just thought. If the V-6 RL has 300hp, then Lexus will have to bump the GS 430's rating.

They would have to if they want to compete at all. If the GS430 is 300 hp and the RL is 300 hp, its a no brainer that someone would get the RL because its cheaper and nicer with the same hp

Personally I like the car - but the dash. Could that really be from the same company that brought us the TL? IMHO, the TL dash is perfection - the RL dash however....I just don't understand.

Same sort of thing with the new A6 - the dash in that car seems so much better thought out and "nicer" than the A8. Werid that they have to play games with the dash layouts and controls in the flagship cars (i.e. BMW 7 Series).

hahaha, the photos you posted were cracking me up!

as for the RL, well, it is supposed to compete with the 5 and GS...well, i don't know man, i think it just lacks that "Luxury" feel on the exterior.

the RL seems to be just a bit too sporty and aggressive for its target customers which generally are a bit more conservative when it comes to cars...however it is all changing as the new generation takes over that targeted market.
