That autobild pic is nice. Looks like a new car, but still has the Lexus vibe.

That row of white LED is straight out of Audi's last marketing campaign for either the A6 or the A4.

^ So you're saying Lexus copied Audi? Are you sure because the 4GS's headlights don't look anything like this. Perhaps you don't know what the A4's headlights look like.

YOu may have no idea what Audi's LED headlights look like.

Well, that 3-row LED headlight have been in the LSh and RXh for sometimes now.

People need to take a hard look at the LS600h before they comment about the triple headlight assembly being a 'copy' from someone else. Anyone seen the new Infinity commercials though? Taking direct shots at Lexus'? I hope Lexus fires back with their own with the new GS.

Mercedes does it:


Jaguar does it:


and soon everyone else will too. It's become mandatory in Europe to have DRLs in cars and premium cars will go LED for that.

Oh, you mean just like this...

MB C-Class Coupe


or THIS...

MB E-Class


or THIS...

MB S-Class


or THIS..

MB CL-Class Coupe


or THIS...

MB CLS


I am just SO sick of seeing the same played out "It looks just like an Audi" comments. Get over it! A single, un-stylized strip of LED accent lighting makes it an EXACT Audi copy??? Why is it that Mercedes can go ten steps further and BLATANTLY rip Audi, yet, I can't remember the last time I've seen anyone getting their panties in a bunch over it?? But let Lexus take minimal styling que's and everyone is up in arms. It's so sad.

BRILLIANT POST.

Amazing to me, Lexus debuts LED headlights first and their cars had the LED lights inside and on the license plate which everyone copied (back in 2005 with the 2006 GS) but NO ONE every says "OMG THEY ARE COPYING LEXUS" I mean EVERYONE is slapping LED license plate lights now, including aftermarket.

Lexus debuts the worlds first RWD hybrid in the 450h and people don't scream "OMG THEY ARE NOW COPYING LEXUS"

I thought it was GS350 first, F-Sport in months to follow and Hybrid (and possible F) later down the road?

There was a report that said 350 at PB, Hybrid at Frankfurt and F-Sport trim at SEMA. This makes sense.
