whole thing is hard to tell because that pic i just posted makes the gs wheelbase look a lot longer than the m5!

well, how much photoshop works is required to show us the difference also tells us how important it is... once again, vs 400lbs difference in weight... lol.

Does anyone know for sure if this car is based on the same platform and with the same wheelbase as the current model? If so it indicates that the next IS won't see big changes either since it's based on the GS.

One should not judge overhangs by comparing pictures taken from different angles and different perspectives.
That being said, I guess the overhang of the GS might be little longer than the 5er, but that is compensated by the nice smooth looking profile instead of the horrid BMW "sniffing" nose that points upwards.
LF-Gh concept looks stunning.

That's because the GS is at a slight angle compared to the BMW. The overhangs are never going to be BMW small, but as is I think it looks fine.

i hope 4GS wont be 4000lb car like F10.

what does wheelbase have to do with platform? Prius V has different wheelbase but is based on as same platform as Prius. And it didnt cost them arm and leg. Just because Toyota doesnt feel like their cars should be growing longer and heavier with every new release, doesnt mean that it didnt do any changes.
i hope 4GS wont be 4000lb car like F10.

My question though was two questions, is it the same platform and is it the same wheelbase as the current model.

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 .

Because of longer plastic bumpers and aluminium hood? Old car was not safe enough? It wasnt sound proof enough?

They are increasing the length, you'd think they'd increase the wheelbase to match it. It doesn't necessarily mean the car will end up heavy - that will depend on how and with what it's built.

What is the benchmark? I'm pretty sure it's the Germans, believe it or not, your beloved Lexus might not even had existed if it weren't for the Germans. You'd think since you're a Lexus fanatic you'd know the history of the brand and what was the motivation behind its inception.
