i guess i just don't like tons of curves in an interior.
they would fail if those silver pieces were just painted plastic. hope they use real aluminum
(Rear) 3/4 shot looks real mean, very sporty. (Essence) trunk lip & trunk looks like another small opening access.[/quote]
not sure about small trunk opening, but looks great.
(Engine) AWESOME POWER!!! Pay attention Lexus!!

also, i see this more as bmw 5/7 series competition and i think it will be priced to match too.
i see lexus more as mercedes competition and not bmw.

thanks for showing the side by side pics, that's helpful, and you're right. definitely a richer design, although similar design themes/layout.

where you finding these pics? i can't see any links in this thread for pics like the one above. thanks.

you can find super ginormous 40mpixel pics at nissannews.com.
curves = contemporary styling.
so you like simple flat RX style?

i understand, and i'm not opposed to curves as such, but that new M has TONS of curves in all directions to the point that it just looks too busy.
that's plain, but the armrest and top dark part still seem to be randomly curved.

Bit (Paul) - You're right. M is gonna be a BMW 5/7 Fighter. Looks like Lexus is taking on MB as their main rival.
I remember way back in the days of CL. long.long.long time ago... not that long.
I think 1SICK - Mike said (Pimp/Fashion expert/life consultant/Gigalo) funny quote from the movie Barbershop) anyways
Acura,Lexus,Infiniti went up against Audi,MB,BMW
Acura vs. Audi (Looks like Audi/VW is winning)
Lexus vs. MB (Luxury)
Infiniti vs. BMW (Sporting)
Infiniti fell out of it with Q45 & J30 & Acura wants to wins w/front dr. V6.
This left Lexus to battle the germans alone.
Something like that.

if infiniti is battling bmw, it sure stepped on mercedes' toes too.
this inifniti interior looks to be way ahead of the 5 series.

I dont have my hope up that GS will answer this M in any meaningful way....I hope I am wrong. The M is very nice........I think L finesse is heading in the wrong direction, if the LS refresher pic is for real, it is seriously in the wrong direction....The new RX is so so IMO.....In all honesty, I just dont see the point of the GS hybrid....I think unless it has serious MPG advantages, the argument of providing more performance for less emissions / same amount of fuel consumption IMO is lame. I think the GS-hybrid should be put to rest, bring on the GSF or GS500 with real *****...aggressive kits / rims / brakes / performance package from the factory.....heck make the gs350/gs370 or whatever the base car and gs500/gsf the monster....

the M56 is just for bragging rights.
it won't sell well.
Lexus is too practical-minded to put out a monster GS just because infiniti did. but it may put out after the LF-A hits the market.
as more proof that lexus doesn't give a crap what other people do........ lexus hasn't even built a true coupe yet.
