nice find bud


IMO it looks like a coupe, or at least wants to be one.
The gauge cluster looks sweet. Hopefully Lexus steals the idea and puts it in the GS.

The exterior is not that great. I'd actually prefer the current RL over this one based on exterior styling but the interior is a HUGE improvement. Looking at the first picture with the 3/4 front shot it looks a lot like the old CL styling in the back which, in my opinion, was horrific. To me it doesnt really stant out as a flagship at all. Almost looks like a domestic car for some reason...it just doesnt feel like it has the Japanese engineering behind it

It looks like the trunk always looks like its open...kinda weird

The front end of this car keeps reminding me of the Camry. The sloping hood looks sporty but not stately IMHO.

Nice find! Front doesn't do anything for me at all. Interior is a huge improvement, and I love the view from the back even though it looks like a bigger version of the Accord coupe from the rear end.

GS guys ... don't the tails make you think Junction Produce for some reason?

That's EXACTLY what I was thinkin'.

Interior looks great...kinda iffy on the exterior, but it's better than the TL revision.

Overall a nice conservative design.

That big round *** better not be the I drive it resembles.
