Yeah its really turned into a traditional 3 box design ala LS, 5 etc etc....if this is the next GS. Can't say I'm thrilled with that. On the other hand everyone has pretty much knocked off the 2GS to 3GS design so it no longer looks original.

Here is the mag pic of the next LS for comparison...

Nice chop. It visualizes why I am not particularly excited about it. Take away such a heavily critized design element, add a toned down/traditional Lexus grill and IMO you are left with a concept that barely looks any different than a current LS/GS/IS.

I like where this is going, from the side reminds me of the current LS which isn't bad to start with and the front and rear look good to me aswell, especially the interior looks like they took some parts from the LF-A let's hope the production will stick with it.

a. no side protectors
b. 20" tires are way to thin for comfy ride
c. side mirrors are too small for safety reasons

= this should have been Toyota.

I love everything but the front clip. If the front looked more like an evolution of the L-Finesse, this would be a winner. Again, echoing what somebody else said, this is a design study, not a production vehicle. There a few very interesting details on this car. I'm really digging the rear end myself.

the photoshop helped a lot. Now it looks like an LS was blended with an ISF

Very disappointed with the picture so far. I know it's only a concept but I don't think the production version is going to be any better.

not trying to one up anyone, but with this one, the hourglass shape grill is kept and the smaller lower portion

I love this angle-you can see more detail of the headlight area

poor chop shop

Once again all of the professional car critiques of CL have stepped in to save Lexus from utter failure.

Come on guys, hate it then shoot an e-mail to the President (look what happened when someone did it with an Audi).

I honestly think you are now just trying to gain attention by others whom seem to have a good time by guessing which cars the LF-GH looks like.

We might need some babysitters in this thread.
