A Mitsubishi Galant. I'm actually not even mad anymore. Maybe this is just the way that Japanese sedeans will look for a while.
Well that is truly hideous.

I think this new MB CLS500 that's coming is pretty incredible:

Can anyone else see the ES330 resemblance in the CLS500?
In particular, check out the lines along the side. Also the raked back headlights, ect.

Now I haven't seen the new GS in person yet but does anyone else think the "L" on the front grill is absolutely HUGE or am I the only one that sees this..

Just curious as to what Lexus was thinking.. As for the rest of the car it is growing on me.. Really love the side profile.. Front and rear thou would have to get modded out if down the line I get one of these..

Thumbs up

I'm feelin the new GS personally! They MUST give it at least 350hp though. And with a nice set of 19's and either a Metallic Grey or Silver color..........

It's On!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess chrome on the sides has been replaced. I suspected that when I posted these pics but I tought maybe it's only the angle. Today I saw some more pics from Geneva and it realy looks like chrome on the sides is gone.

Maybe I am wrong ...

Anyone notice the similarities between the new BWM 6 and the new GS?

I see your point. Some of the overall profile lines are similar but thank God
there's no similarity in the lights. I'll take the GS please.
What's up with those headlights on the 6 anyway? They ruin the entire car.
I don't know what Bangle is thinking but I'm beginning to think he's legally blind.

The only similarity I see is the roof line. But the roof line has typical coupeish slope and since Lexus had tendency to make GS look like coupe it's obvious it has that slope.

I saw 6 series cabrio on Friday and at first I tought it was a Z4 but then I noticed the rest of it. Front of 6 is very similar to Z4
