I didn't like it at first either its definitely an acquired taste and takes some getting used to.

I agree!

I think the exhaust looks really nice and compliments the rear end of the vehicle very well. Just like the LS.

The sound the engine makes is artificial as well, so i dont get this whole "if its fake its not nice", who cares. Like when a GS passes by people are like "man that cars looks nice, but wait the exhaust is not real, nevermind".

The sound is coming from the intake, it's similar to those with air intake kits with open filter. At least the sound isn't coming from the speakers cause that's just bad.

I love the styling of the 4 GS - I find it's slightly aggressive yet elegant and subtle at the same time... Bold.. yet refined you could say!

I waited and saw the 2016 before just recently deciding to go with the 2015. I actually prefer the lines with the bumper through the spindle grill personally.. think its a bit more classy and seems overall more proportioned with the car as a whole, where as the full spindle definitely leans to the more aggressive side imo. Hence I think the full spindle is more at home on the coupes than the sedan!

People have gone out of their way to compliment my car and ask about it and even tell me they want one after just seeing it, yet no one has ever called my car ugly!! I think the new look of Lexus is definitely a step in the right direction over the more mundane approach of the past.

I have not had one single compliment on my car maybe I hang around the wrong areas and people lol Go figure, I live in a truck town so I'm already gay for driving a CAR.

I really like the GS. The rear end is a bit blocky and didn't like it at first but after having my car for over 6 months I've really gotten use to it and don't hate it anymore. I especially love my Cabernet interior and the mirrors that looks futuristic when they fold in from being locked. Love it

Well, I don't live in Farmington, New Mexico where [it is said that] every manly-type male drives a truck (with the exception of you), but let me compliment you on your car. I think your car is amazing!!! Your car is the kind of vehicle that a 'man's man' drives. A car that commands and demands respect. Yes - there is only one man living in Farmington, New Mexico that can handle the manliness that is required to drive such a magnificent vehicle. That be you!!! All the others are left to just drive trucks...

I love the look of the GS, who wants bland? If I did, I would've brought a TLX.
