Fans of 1980s digital watches will be delighted to hear the GS retains Lexus's trademark, incongruous pound-shop read-out.
...I thought the round thing in between the vents is the new analog clock?

From the video I like the stance of the car, it looks wide and the wheels are out at the corners. However there is still too much gap between the wheels and the wheel wells, this is most obvious from the rear 3/4 shots. For example these ones from CarandDriver:




It gives the impression that the wheels need to be bigger and pushed out more to fill the wheel wells.

i think it would be very funny if the basica 350 has a leather boot but the f sport has the more luxury setup. when i saw that i just told myself that's probably just test mules. i pay no attention to details like that for now

I think they ruined the interior of the new gs... it looks like a Bmw interior some what now.

I think its pretty accurate for now.. LoL

I corrected my posts after some more digging around.

US & Euro test mules are all showing leather boots for the shifter gate..
Basic GS & GS F-Sport

The UK - Prototype GS 450 h test mule is the only photo'd GS with NO Leather on the sifter gate. Just the shift **** & shaft.

Maybe its hybrid drive related ..

Also, Europe seems to have 3 Test mules shown right now..

My guess is Base GS 250 & GS450 h (just a guess on the two we know of)
