Default Who Knew? - Hatch Concept based on GS 1st Gen

Who knew something like this could be based on a GS with a V8 no less! Thank god this never happened - even with a different name we may have never seen a second or third gen GS - much less hoped for a fifth gen (yes - I'm still holding out until I hear an official announcement)

With a little restyling it might have made for a fun little hatch, something along the lines of VW GTI

Here's a link to the complete article if you want to read....scroll down in the article for additional photos...including an LS Landau variant from 2011.
Concept We Forgot: 1994 Lexus Landau

(note: is there an easy way to resize photos in the post? I keep doing it but as soon as I post it goes full size. I can certainly resize in software like photoshop - just trying to figure out a quicker way to do it hopefully).

Looks good for 90s, the best decade for vehicle design. The front looks like a Eunos....the interior cannot hide it's age though.

Why do I think of the AMC Pacer when I see this car?! I can almost see Wayne and Garth driving it.

OMG....I can totally see that. My mom loved that car and wanted one so bad. They ended up getting a Matador instead.

Crazy enough, I actually remember this concept. As a teenager in 1994, I had multiple car magazine subscriptions at the time and I remember reading about this. Fun stuff!
