Whoa, I think my eyes are playing tricks on me.
The third pic down makes it look NOTHING like the maxima at all.
It may be the angle of the pic or something but the rear end looks much smaller and the stance is pefect.
Any one else seeing this?

Still haven't found any pics of the rear seats. Just want to know if that big middle "hump" is still there?
They should've left the zebrano woods on the Caddys...

Also, did you notice that the central console between the front seats has leater on the side instead of plastic? That's pretty cool, but I don't know how durable it will be. . .

Yeah, it hasn't really grown on me, either. As before, I don't hate it, but I don't love it.

As an industrial designer (which includes car design) I'd like to add my opinion. I think the new GS is absolutely fabulous. It's much sleeker and sportier than the current model and has better proportions. I love the current GS as well, but the new one grabs my attention much more. I think ounce everyone sees it on the road, we'll be amazed. The only thing I might change in the design is the tail lights, although I do
like their simplicity, I think a quad set-up would have been more successful. As for the Maxima comparisons, the only similarity is really the thickness of the c-pillars and short decklid.
Those are just some of my thoughts.

Ugh! I'm disappointed in the 2005 Lexus GS. The front end looks like a Toyota Avalon; the rear end the old model Nissan Maxima. Lexus misses the mark on making the GS a sports sedan.
Lexus should have used the Lexus Future Sedan concept as the new GS.

Update on the silver/yellow Maxima. I actually was at Phipps Plaza yesterday and saw it in person.

I run across some italinan concept design magazine and they have about full four pages dedicated to Lexus LF-S! There are alot of pictures we havent seen including the making of LF-S and CGI interior shots.
But one picture that "moved" me the most was profile picture. LF-S in profile looks exactly like new GS except the shape of tailights. It's unbelievable! I mean LF-S is different in any other angle than GS but in profile they are same exact car.
The biggest change that I noticed was the lines on the hood and sides. On LF-S they are different from those on new GS and that could be the most distincitve difference betweein them. You will also see the grill on LF-S took a lot of cues from new GS.
Anyway I will buy the mag, scan the pages and post.

I thought I saw a 05 GS yesterday. It was pretty far away, I could tell it wasn't a Maxima though. When I got up on it I saw that it was this . . .
A Mitsubishi Galant. I'm actually not even mad anymore. Maybe this is just the way that Japanese sedeans will look for a while.
