Default And the best looking GS is ?

Hi All,

Now that we have 4 generations of our cars, it's time to assess which one has the best overall design. I still think that the first gen still wins. The car in my opinion doesn't seem to age.The lines flow nicely from front to back, simple and elegant. The second gen looked trendy at first but has really aged design wise. The third also is looking a bit dated now with its sagging rear end, and the 4th has that ugly grill imo, and Hyundai Sonata rear end. Unfortunately the first gen never got its due from the press, but mine at 300k still runs like a brand new car.....no leaks, no burning oil, etc. So my order would be 1st gen, 3rd gen, 4th gen, 2nd gen. Lets hope that Lexus' engineering and design standards haven't slipped.

I agree for the most part. I say the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in that order.The 3rd I thought was soft and could never compare to the M45 and the 4th has ZERO personality. Its like the Audi ad where they have the RX and copies just keep coming. The new Lexus' just plan suck. They all look alike. And yes, that horrible grill. Now its on all of them. OMG!!!
