it looks great, the headlights are stunning!! and the interior moon roof feels very luxurious, though I am not a big fan of its grill and avalon-like rear.
Anyway I think this competes harder with lower end 30~40k segment with ES300, TL/CL, etc , (Q45 flagship sells about same price as GS430) rather than 50k + GS v8 segment.

I think there's a typo in the original pictures. Where it says "Fuga", it's supposed to say "Fugly".

Looks great. Interior looks a bit over the top.
One thing I wonder is what must American and German manufacturers think when they see great designs from Japan? Do they just think "DAYAM we should have done that!" Or do they think "HA! Ours are better!" (Denial). People have claimed for decades that all the Japanese can do is copy, but that's such crap, because Japanese car companies have now produced dozens of stunning designs.

This is over in the lobby too drew.. 
I like it though.. at least on the outside..
I hate the moonroof and the interior leaves a lot to be desired.
