The italdesign GS (previous generation) was much better but the driving dynamics and engine choices were not on par.

To pinpoint just a few problems with GS:

1. Bulbous trunk.
2. Headlights and the way the hood swoops in the front looks too heavy and ugly
3. The side profile looks just plain lardy.

I will post a detailed account of design flaws for the benefit of lexus designers on proper forum for GS. The lexus designers have clearly bombed it and almost destroyed it.
