Thumbs up 2006 GS Design Anaylsis by Del Coates (Sports Car International) Article inside

In many threads, I've preached this is THE BEST magazine you can get. They only test and review sports adn sporty cars/sedans. The writers and pics are top notch. Some people buy the mag just for Del Coates article, design analysis.

Understand a car has to be pretty ground-breaking or very worthy to be covered in this article. Sports Car International does not B.S with anything. They tell it how it is. For the GS to even be considered for this article, says TONS about it.

The GS has already won a European award for design. In most every magazine review, the styling is mostly very posiive. No its not perfect but as you READ this article, it explains what Lexus is trying to accomplish. ENJOY!!

Awesome article for the thinking man (or woman)!

Notice how many times he referenced the exhaust note? It is so much better than the 2gen stock sound!

Wow, just goes to show how much attention to detail the Lexus designers put into this car. Every design element is the way it is and there for a reason, no accidents.

Yea, he seemed to really like the exhaust note. I'm going to guess he was driving a GS300? Most of the magazines seem to praise the new GS300's sporty growl. I've driven one myself, but I still kinda prefer the sound of the 2JZ.

It reads kinda like a wine review.

And I still don't like the 3GS looks.
