I HATE IT!!!!!

Very disappointing exterior! looks very plain and just looks boring. the front looks bad and the grill is crap.

headlights are not what they could have been. the 3 projecter beam look in the concept was way nicer.

interior is OK at best. why the shift boot? gated shifter would have been so much nicer and cleaner.

I guess I will be leaving the GS family for my next ride. Hello Porsche Panamera.

Lexus / Toyota....................BORING AND BLAND as ever.

the 3rd Gen GS was SH_T and the hope that 4th Gen would return to a game changer like the 2nd Gen Gs was, is now totally gone.

another thing, a GS-F with anything less than 500+ horsepower is a joke. if you want to compete w/ AMG and M, then you need to step your game up Lexus. Right now, you have no chance and more disappointment is in your future.

4th Gen GS --------------------------- HUGE LETDOWN.

Bad Lexus. Bad Lexus. Bad Lexus. Now go to your room, you're grounded for a month.

Yes because stance is most likely digitally adjusted but what is adjusted as well and for sure are the highlights and shadows.

Lets see what new Lexus clear coating will do in real life. They say it enhances the highlights and shadows.

And finally some higher resolution graphics for the center-mounted info meter between the tach and speedo! Hate the Atari-like display in their current model range.

I'm liking it now. Very classy and conservative, in a good way. Will the engine specs etc be posted this evening during the reveal as well?

The design is cohesive and smooth, yet aggressive and muscular. It retains its elegance that cannot be match and is definitely a competition onslaught. It doesn't have any gimmicky design that other companies use as a marketing ploy. This car is definitely not radical, but its also different than all the previous GS we've see. Oh yea, it looks expensive.

wow, they put in some thigh bolsters..finally. looks like they took a lot of design cues from the europeans. Not really feeling it but not a total let down. some performance/specification numbers would be useful.

I was thinking the same thing! With my current GS, half of my femur is sticking out from the seat

pretty close to how i feel right now too. much better than the pics we saw 2 days ago, better lines. interior i really like it a lot (maybe i am more euro influenced already), all the details are good. exterior sorry but still don't do much to me. both the front and rear
