I'm waiting for the MKIII Aristo to be introduced around September of this year in Japan before taking any PS's seriously(or official release photos)..I'm starting to like some of the old GS photoshops better now LOL

Overgrown ES300..

Yeah, well put.. Toyota is still doing R&D on the MKIII GS and will change their own current idea on the GS's design(whatever that may be) many times before the concept debuts let alone the start of production.

Here is what they say.
From autospies:

2005 Lexus GS series
_
The next GS will get an all new body design.
_
As predicted by the Spies, the HPX Crossover concept car featured many details that may make it into the GS-series.
_
Look for a Lexus version of iDrive and the AWD system of the HPX, to be implemented, into the GS-series.
_
Prototypes are currently undergoing testing at the Nurbrgring racetrack and engine and suspension tweaks are being done with the help of the Porsche engineering team in Weissach, Germany.
_
A concept version of the car will be showcased at the Tokyo Autoshow this fall.

Auto Spies perspective: BMW better be looking over their shoulder with this one! In our estimation, it's a handsome 5-series (shouldn't that have come from BMW?)


2004 Lexus LS430 Refresh-First pictures
_
What we know:

It will be sitting lower and have larger wheels
_
We may even see a tweaked 4.5L V8, when it arrives this October.
_
As we predicted, when the full redesign comes in 2006, look for a long wheelbase model and a V12 option.
_
In an effort to perplex the Germans, There are rumors that the V12 could be the standard engine on the next generation LS

I think the new GS, if it does look like this...is horrible I love my current body style much more.

Default 2 Many Auto spy threads on GS

Is it me or is there way too many Spy threads on the upcoming GS series. I don't know about you but all of the pictures that I have looked at look horrible (IMHO). It seems to me that in the past month most of the new threads are about this upcoming model that we think is coming out. I say let's just go with the flow and "TIME WILL TELL".

Plus so much contradictory information, all of which comes from what seem like credible sources, has begun to make me wonder if T/L isn't deliberately engaged in a dis-information campaign, to further keep the upcoming cars under wraps.

I actually like the pics. It is a lot better than some of the other photoshops that have been floating around for awhile. One thing, I would add though is the front quads. It just wouldnt be a GS without them.

You kiddin'? Those pics may make Lexus models look like what BMW should have done for the 5 series, and yes, those dish wheels make the GS pic look a bit like the new BMW 7 series, but I'd say BMW is starting to look more like Kia now!
