Default Lexus Website GS Pics

Is it me, or does the pictures of the GS on the Lexus website look lowered?

It could be "stock" with a bunch of sand bags loaded into trunk and front floor ;-)

Another recommendation to Lexus would be to update the photo gallery to reflect "True" colors of their cars. Currently the colors on the website are not even close to the actual colors of the cars they represent.

I think dealers always retouch photos to make the car look better. That's how they draw people in.

It absolutely a marketing tool. makes the car look faster , sportier, and creates a more aggressive stance. I notice the same thing in the adds when I got my car

Not only do cars look lowered but the tint looks like it's done on every window even the front winshield. Marketing/Photoshop= sales
