both good changes imho. i hate my ls460 and gs350 where there were no intermittent settings anymore. lexus auto wiper sensing never works well.... i like the fuel door setup, same as euro cars

keep them coming

It's amazing the difference between a decent color F-sport model and that horrid blue AWD base model.

I should add that the version in my video is the luxury version and those wheels are only on the luxury. The other versions will have the basic rims very similar to what is seen on most Lexus.

Well, after seeing the video, I also can say I miss the fast back style rer end. The rear looks like the ES. Not a ad looking car but not n exciting look either.

IMHO, why bother with 8 gears when you can have unlimited gears in GS450h :-)

After suffering through its cramped rear seating and low headroom, I for one am glad that the fastback styling and coupe pretensions of the 3GS are gone for good.

Let the next CLS/6 series challenger from Lexus have that immature styling. For a mid-size sport SEDAN, I expect my 4GS to have actual utility and be able to carry rear seat passengers .

I just thought about it, but did Lexus do away with the power folding mirrors for this new model? Does anyone have all of the features/specs listed out?

Personally, I'd choose the GS350 F-sport

As good as the hybrid is, it is not for me. I'd definitely go for a GS350 F-sport (RWD) instead

Two cents

Fine if you don't like something.....but why call it immature?
Stick with not liking it.
Your statement could possibly be seen as immature but the shape of a car?
I'm not connecting the comparison.

What? You sit in the back and get driven by a chauffeur?

I have them in an informational book - any certain information you're wanting?

Hehe I'm still sticking with the GS350 F-sport on this one (I'd still choose it over the new GS450h)

Different strokes for different folks.

So your book lists power folding mirrors for the US model? I ask because when I sat in one last week, I didn't see the power fold button.
