Haven't seen it, but starting to really believe the 3rd. Gen. GS will be more comfortable, quieter, and all that other good stuff, but I all so believe the 3rd. Gen. will not look as good as the current 2nd. Gen. I had a guy today in a new E-Class look my car up and down left and right, and then give me the thumbs up.

Have never seen this one. I think its a photshop of the Lexus Concept SUV from last year's auto show. Compared to all the other fake GS pics, this one doesnt look that bad actually.

I also agree that it will be hard for Lexus to match the styling of the 1st and 2nd gen GS, both of them are such great designs.

On the note of styling I really hope they keep the "Bubble Lens" font end to some extent. I like the SC430 and LS430 with their fused in one headlights but I believe this look gives our cars an extra flare that only Benz could TRY to copy.

Thought benz was the first with the bubble/quad headlights??? 94 E class had those, no? This rendering is a bit similar to one posted a while back. I remember sayin that it looked like an audi, but liked the styling... it still is a photoshop though.

Those look definitely like BMW style wheels.

It's not bad, but not great either.

I haven't seen that one before but I think the look is too modern. I have seen a picture similar to it. The owner of Lexus of Orlando is going to a private showing of the IS300 Coupe, Convertible, and the new GS next week in Seattle, Washington. He told us in a meeting on Thursday that certain individuals will be invited. I am going to try to ****** as much information as I can about these models.

Yeah the E-Class was the one with the "bubble Lights" but they don't look as good as the Lexus. Still don't. Thats what people refer to our cars as the "Bubble Lens Lex" and the call the E-Class "Frog Eye"

You do? I dunno... I can't quite get used to the growths right next to the grill.

Everything else is not too bad but those two mini lights....

hehhe, I'm the opposite, all that I like is the two mini lights, I don't like the bumper or grill. I hope the GS keeps the quad headlights, its a distinct style that the GS only holds.
