i noticed that too.

i wouldn't be surprised if the interior seat/leg room was identical to a G sedan.

dunnojack

it does borrow from the elantra, doesn't it.

it even has the sport model wheel style. make it 20", and...

Its nice but I was expecting something truly magnificent for all the talk and didn't get it from a styling standpoint. Jag XF to me is best looking in class now since the E is all new.

So which one is the real production model?

dunnojack

both are

the one with 20" wheels is the sport model

the other is base/journey model.

wow!!! After seeing this shot I have to take back my compliments on the new styling, Like the previous M, but more so now, it looks like a big *** G35. The interior is truely amazing. Lexus rivaling interior design, but the exterior in journey trim is nasty

it's not really a chop. the logo was changed and the wheels were enlarged.

it's an elantra

Thanks ...

I am impressed at the quality of the interior, and the sport model looks a ton better than the journey

i predict this car will be an epic failure. i am not impressed with the endless and mostly unnecessary curves in and out of the car.

fail.

wow, real life pics look great!

lexus is going to have a tough time fighting this one off unless they come out with something more than stellar.

Its clear that the GS sales didn't suffer with the new and much improved M35/45. 2006 GS sales were actually the best in its history, the M didn't affect it at all. It did win more comparos though.

You shouldn't need huge rims and a bodykit to look coherent. Now I see the Buick Lacrosse Super in it....





Crazy but Flipside predicted it way back on page 1. I understand today its hard to come with an original design but with all the "Essence" talk, I expected more.

One thing I can say about Toyota/Lexus is that Lexus vehicles simply look far more substantial and better. I can't say that with Honda/Acura and Nissan/Infiniti. I prefer the Accord sedan/coupe to any Acura badged vehicle and I prefer the new Maxima to anything Infiniti badged cars have. I cannot say I prefer the Camry or Avalon over ANY Lexus.

At least it doesn't have that massive front overhang I think it looks pretty good inside and out. Can't wait to get in one and feel the materials for myself
