Now I love me some Lexus. I just wish they stayed closer to the concept. Oh well I'm sure it will look good with the right set of rims and color. I just think a car should look good regardless.

man, it's hard to get excited over these leaked photos...I'll have to wait for the high-res pics. I was really hoping they had retained much of the concept highlights (minus the grill). No LED lights, integrated exhaust (I really hope it's not another pass through facade but truly integrated), etc.

I suspect that the headlights aren't really as humongous as they appear. I blame that on a combination of the angle of the car and the camera lens.

Per usual Lexus practice, I expect that the LED headlights are reserved for the hybrid versions. Remember that the concept was the LF-Gh, and that the first GS4 to debut is the non-hybrid 350.

I see a slight resemblance.

They should of kept the rear theme from the concept it matches the front and brings the design together.

There must be something strange with the angle , the white car looks way to wide and "compressed" compared to the concept car. It almost looks like a boat.

Everything seems oversized about this car. The tails look kinda big. Also, like someone already pointed out, the headlights are huge. And take a look at the exhaust. The concept model has these small openings, but on the production model those things are huge. They may look good on LS, but GS needed something smaller

This definitely does not look like a GS at all. Then again, the 2GS deviated a lot from the 1GS and look how it turned out

I'm glad they decided not to use the chicken mesh grill.

imho it doesnt even look like a premium luxury brand product. Something more reminescent of a nissan/toyota branded vehicle instead.

I do prefer the exhaust integration and rear end of the concept to the production model, but again...that's why they call it a concept

If the GS would've been too small, people would complain. Lets just wait to the official release of of the 4GS. Judging it now is stupid.
