Default 2012 Lexus GS to debut at Pebble Beach

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/15/2...-pebble-beach/



Well, that was fast. Just days ago, we got our first glimpse of the next-generation Lexus GS out testing on the Nürburgring, and now, AutoGuide reports that the production car is set to debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Monterey, California next month. Lexus has yet to confirm this report.

Not surprisingly, the 2012 GS will take many of its styling cues from the Lexus LF-Gh concept that bowed at the 2011 New York Auto Show in April. Even in the spy shots, we could see that the LED running lamps up front were left intact, along with the unique grille shape and arched lower air intake openings.

AutoGuide reports that the car shown in Monterey will likely be a hybrid, though Lexus is expected to also offer conventional gasoline versions of the GS. A high-performance F variant is in the cards, as well.

Maybe it's just me, but that wheel gap (or lack of) looks awesome! [pic in post 1456]

So how do they justify the wholesale ripping off of Audi's signature LED headlamp design again? Seems kinda pathetic to me.

Cars sold in Europe require LED when they get redone, its a big safety item there. Since Lexus is sold in Europe they are adding them when possible. So its not copying Audi, its the law. Though Audi was the first to come with LEDs with Porsche.

I don't see anyone saying how the Europeans copied Lexus when lexus was first or one of the first with LEDs inside the car and on the license plate .

the smaller gs image vs the huge m5 image is deceiving and you're wrong.

did a pixel peep on a straightened image...

m5overhang = 115 pixels
m5 = 1204 pixels
ratio: .0955

4gsoverhang = 72 pixels
4gs = 688 pixels
ratio: .105

4gs overhang > m5 overhang

(attached m5 image below is scaled down by CL upload, but original crop is 1204pixels)

i have a feeling lexus has something up their sleeve with the power numbers and fuel economy for they hybrid version. that may be their secret.

yes, difference is an inch... it makes a world of difference.

but 400lbs extra does not matter at all.


it is silly world we live in.
