^ I agree I wish they would have kept the led fogs like in the mock up they had, it looked good, I hope the engine is going to have a good amount of HP.

You will also see the front end soften a bit. Lexus marketing shows that not as many people have warmed up to the new look then was hoped. Art & Science works for Cadillac - not Lexus.

Its always the 2nd and 3rd year of a (six year Lexus) model run that is most interesting. First year buyers are like beta testers for Microsoft's Zume.
You're just assuming the second year will bring some cosmetic changes, right?
It's a fair assumption since it has happened before.
I hope you're right cause that front is nasty. Looks like a bad bodykit....the Predators' mouth with fangs added.

Yep, and to save money, they're able to use the same marketing materials that were used in 2007!!!

the more i see the 4GS, the more i see 'big IS'. not a bad thing, but makes me chuckle a little to those who see a4/a6/a8 and 3/5/7 as 'the same'.

anyway, this GS f-sport is a good package. still a 'butta face' but hey

Actually the new GS450h has only 338hp, 2hp less than the outgoing model.

I've just seen the GS F-sport and if there is some IS in it its a family resemblance in very few cues but the GS does not in any shape or form look like a bigger IS and the LS does not look like a bigger GS. This is nowhere near the case of one style 3 different sausage lengths.

The face looks much better in person than I thought, I was prepared to be distraught but it looks mean. Can't imagine how it would look with the LEDs.

The car is really good looking.
