does anyone think lexus should've kept the 4 piece (or seemingly so) headlights? i always felt that was one easily and quickly recognizable trait of the GS....

more and more i look at the pics, options, videos of the GS350, I realize how expensive loaded GS 350 F-Sport will be.

I just priced 528i at 65k. Without some of the options that will be there in GS350.

535i with options similar to loaded GS350 F-Sport is 80k.

I am pretty sure that GS350 F-Sport completely loaded will approach 70k or maybe even cross it.

My two cents...
I've been reading off and on for years about how Lexus shouldn't have dumped the quad headlights. I totally disagree. Lexus threw them on at the time because it was a hot trend. The E-class, Integra, and some others were doing this style. Times change, things go out, and so did Lexus's decision to eliminate this feature. I am glad they did. The world has moved on to newer and more modern looks.

The only thing more modern about the 4GS look is the spindel grill IMO, and I am anxiously awaiting what the next (most likely similar size) ES350 will look like ...... will it look too similar ?

to me, quad headlights not a must. doesn't "define" gs for me and it all depends on how good it looks. but i think the 4gs headlights aren't aggressive enough

Cool, just wondering if Lexus will put new engine & trans in the second year ( they did it to the last GS ). If so, I don't mind to wait another year

interesting...so henry, in your opinion, which "looks" better to you...3GS or 4GS? if you had to pick based on exterior styling alone (ignore all the new tech or features on 4GS)? coz i know you're not crazy about 4GS styling...

you mean the car overall? umm, tough. i might actually pick the 3gs because it looks more streamline. the 4gs, to me so far, the front seems quite busy but the rear looks too simple, it lost a bit of the balance. it's not that bad after digesting the car for 4 days, but problem is every time i see the car, i focus on the grille, the headlights, and the exhaust right the way (not in a good way)

Camry Hybrid specs got leaked and it seems to be 8 MPG better than before, while having more power. It only 1 mpg less combined than CT200h, despite being larger, heavier and based on 2.5l engine.... not to mention 64hp more.

Now i have to wonder what Lexus has in store for us with GS450h. While I dont believe similar gains are possible, I would take 20% better MPG and 20hp more :-).
