My 4GS Sighting and some exterior styling thoughts (I know again)
#16
Tonight, I was driving on the west side highway, ny, and I saw the led headlights smiling in the rear view mirror. I knew it was the 4gs, but I couldn't see the grille because of the dark. I wanted to see what the whole car looks like moving on the road, so I managed to let him pass me and........, It was a jaguar
How many cars have those led lights by now??

Saw my first base GS today (it was silver) and came away mighty impressed, certainly better in the flesh than in pics. It had a sporty stance and a nice growl from the exhaust. I have liked it since day 1 but this further contributed to me wanting one.

Well this was interesting....as soon as I turned out the neighborhood got behind a new silver 4GS....it was overcast so the lights were on and I have to say I really like the rear lights in the "L" shape lit up. While the overall design of the light might not stand out, the LED tubes do. What is also signature was the Lexus exhaust cut outs on the rear end. It helps with the otherwise rather mundane rear.

Headlights and taillights styling is a big thing for me, Audi and MB stand out in my mind. With not only LED DRL, but also LED turn signals, brake lights etc, they're able to give a very unique and interesting design to the lights both when on and off. i don't think Lexus is quite there yet, but the LED tubes on the 4GS and new ES definitely give the lights much character

I stopped by the dealer yesterday to see them in person and while not radically different in the metal, I did notice some subtle style cues that weren't as obvious in the pictures I'd seen. It's a good looking (but not drop dead gorgeous) car on the outside. The interior is as good as I've seen short of 6 figure+ bespoke vehicles.
Wheel gap on the AWD is terrible and highlighted by the lower profile tires I saw on the F-Sport one they had.
I am glad to see that Lexus seems to be piling on the marketing dollars for the new GS. I've seen tons of commercials and a handful of billboards go up in the last few weeks.
Will wait on future drivetrains or F variant before I seriously look at one.

I see what you're saying, lol....but what I meant is I was able to see it in action instead of staring at a still picture of it. Kind of like seeing a celebrity in person for the first time as opposed to seeing them through pictures or videos. I got a better feel for it over all if that makes any sense, lol.

I hope the led DRLs on the Lexus models work better than the ones on Audis... is it just me or is every 3rd audi you see driving around with one of the LED strips dead?

I didn't know that, but no, a lot are just driving down the street - though I'm sure the truly dead ones are probably less than I thought before because of that quirk I wasn't aware of. Thanks for the education. :P

I saw the car in San Diego at Lexus of Kerney Mesa and the driver stared more at my ISF than I was looking at the 4GS but it's really nice.

Lighting and skill doesn't always reveal every line and shape in pics.
Not every person perceives or process information the same. Some are more tactile. Some are more emotional.....and so on.
I'm really surprsed an enthusiast would say this...until I remind myself of what I just said....we're all different....and thank God for that.
