Default 2008 GS 3rd GEN COUPE

Ok, I lied but just imagine available with a 500+ Liter motor and a real suspension to compete with 'sports' cars.

Interesting pics Braheem.....as much as I'd love a GS coupe that pic reminds me too much of the old Acura CL's and for me that's not a good thing. Good pics tho

Wow... those are impressive

I could go for a GS coupe (or ANY new Lexus coupe for that matter)

... as for the wagon: it might sell well in certain parts of the world, but Americans prefer their station wagons a little higher off the ground.

reminds me of the Bently continental GT, same looking lines and wheels. I think the GS would make a great high end performance coup with some more modifications.

I'm all for a GS or LS based luxury sports coupe from Lexus, but I think they should have their own design that's significantly different from the sedans, lower & wider & have completely different body panels, & don't look like anything that you can photoshpped from the pic of the sedan.
