I love it. obviously the headlights are borrowed from the LS600hL BUT it still looks amazing. In the end I see the LS exhaust tips on so many new cars today its crazy. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. They are flattering the hell out of Lexus
Still amazed that they blatantly stole the LS600hL's headlight cluster. Stuff like this is why I still have zero respect for this company.
I am biased against this company but I completely agree with you. I do not see how Hyundai can carry on like this with the way they copy ("borrow" is the same thing) other marques in their design language. Taking a hint here and there is fine, but when you try to borderline plagiarize something it is disgusting. It was a shame when the LS430 was so similar to the older E classes, but thankfully Lexus has moved past it. Hyundai obviously just doesnt care.
To top it off, they fiddle with the hood ornament and make it resemble the Bentley Mulsanne's flying B/Rolls Royce Spirit of Ecstasy.
It is 2013 and Hyundai is pulling stuff like this. Makes me start to wonder whether or not the flying H has any shame.
Agreed. They're kickass looking headlights but they only extended it to the HS250h.
They are the first LED headlight cluster in mass production and they are still the best LED headlight adaptation in any car today. They are almost as good as any state of the art xenons regarding visibility and brightness and when all three projectors light up you know they cannot be your regular headlights, it's so subtle and simple yet it's such a strong statement.
Sure Audi is trying a different more contemporary approach with patterns and with new A6 they are getting there slowly, R8 and A8 were more like a design exercise and tech showcase. Lexus GS LED cluster is a huge step backwards while new LS is getting it back on the right track design wise. CLS is a perfect example how not to do the LED headlights on the other hand.

I think the GS LED lights look menacing but are light on the details. The CLS lights on the other hand make the car look like it's squinting and they're overdone on details.
