I am a huge Michael Graves fan. I love his work. Surprising to see him involved!
Ian Callum is a great designer but lets be honest, the XF is simply a longer GS with an ASton rear and new Jag front. He was even asked about how the GS influenced him in a European interview!

The one good thing I see about this design is that there is very little chrome, the headlights are small, and the large black grille will make it very easy to conceal my next set of Laser Interceptors.
This car is certainly conducive to stealth modifications.

Look at the silouette in the lower right corner of the picture above. 
If that is actually the 4GS, it looks like there will actually be a real trunk in the back.
look at that huge rear overhang.

Official Reveal ... lots of pictures!
Looks fantastic!! Although I'm still not feeling the grille. Maybe it won't make production.

Stripped from the press release ... just the facts, ma'am.
Lexus LF-Gh Concept Specifications vs. 2011 Lexus GS 450h
Propulsion: Lexus Hybrid Drive ..vs. .. 3.5L V6 hybrid
Length: 192.5 inches ..vs. .. 190.7 inches
Width: 73.6 inches ..vs. .. 71.7 inches
Height: 57.1 inches ..vs. .. 56.1 inches
Wheel base: 112.2 inches ..vs. .. 112.2
Tire size (Front): P245/35R20 ..vs. .. 245/40R18
Tire size (Rear): P285/30R20 ..vs. .. 245/40R18
So, the concept is 2 inches longer, 2 inches wider, 1 inch taller and has the same wheel base. Front wheels are 2 inches taller, have a lower profile and same width. Rear wheels are 2 inches taller, have an even lower profile and about 1.57 inches wider.
- 20-inch wheels
- analog clock with a three-dimensional face
- sculpted exhaust tips

I don't know... I like it and yet I don't like it. It has the profile of an LS I think. It's much more sedan-ish looking than the now GS, a lot closer to BMW's 5 series shape with a trunk at the back. Im reserving judgement until the production version is shown and I see it in person, the previous GS concept and what came out were totally different as was the RX more or less but I was hoping they'd offer us something closer to the LC-600h concept
