There are some things I like and some things I don't. Overall I think there are a few parts that I will perhaps use on my 2IS (like wheels maybe), but I don't think I like the car. Definitely not sold on the car until I see it in black and in person.

Interior looks pretty nice, but it's missing a shifter, haha. The 2-piece headlights are whack.

:\

I am stunned such a concept car/exotic looking front end made it to production. I can't see how such a complicated bumper could be cheap to build with all the cutouts, especially with the completely separate LED housing.

There will simply be no confusing this with anything else on the road, Lexus really is doing a great job with the new Spindle.

I think I was on the money when I said most aggressive in class. Now the real question is how it drives against the ATS which is beating the 3-Series

It would be nice if the GS got a refreshed bumper mid cycle with a full spindle and not the tiny little half one. More aggression

So you don't like the LF-Gh, the LF-LC, and the LF-CC either? I always thought this is how the spindle grille should look like, without any interruption in the middle, but thought it simply would never happen on a production car where front license plate mounting is a requirement. I'm glad that it's staying true to the concept here.

I definitely can't wait to see the New IS F - I love the new interior (although the steering wheel is a little busy), and the exterior is gorgeous. I think it would look substantially more impressive with 19"s - hopefully that would be a factory option up front.

Also after experiencing how well the GS F-Sport handles, the new IS has got to be amazing

a very interesting design.
all in all i would say (and this is my opinion) GS remains to be the worse looking New gen Lexus. they should absolutely keep that grill
