I agree, and hope that's not a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo or 2012 Dodge Charger SRT-8-like all-around chrome hoop.
Further, I'll go on record as one of the conservative old-school guys that hopes that the horizontal divider between the upper and lower grilles is body-colored.
While you compare the full chrome surround to non luxury cars like the Mitsubishi and Dodge, Audi also has a full chrome surround. It gives it a more finished look imo.
I do think Chrome is a bit garish though so it might be better if the whole surround was brushed aluminum.
But as I look at it again, I think Mr Burns is dead on:
- Chrome only at arrowhead
- Cross bar is black not body color
Never mind, I found the high res photo, did a quick enhancing:
The arrow head motif is actually stretched a bit to incorporated part of the grill, can't say I expected that. The grill separator looks like it will be part of the body, and probably body colored not black.
Thanks for the links and attachments guys, I found it. Looking at it again the grill separator could be black, hopefully it is.
Overall I think it looks good. I hope the grille insert is black and not body colored. I think the car would look way too conservative and "CT" like if it were body colored. Can't wait to see the final design, interior and specs.
Dont forget that is the standard GS so there is still some amount of luxury and conservatism that is needed. If this grille is body colord, perhaps the F Sport will be blacked out?

Either way, one could wrap or paint it, that's a minor qualm. It could even be on the option sheet.
The photos we've seen of the camouflaged GS suggest that the fog light surround will be more angle and prominent that the photoshop above would suggest.

I haven't modified the design, I just got rid of the shadows that were hiding the information in the image Lexus supplied. Kind of like brightness and contrast adjustment.
Like it, keeps the aggressiveness without going overkill like the concept did. Thankfully its keeps the muscular look, otherwise it would be rather plain looking.
