I'd be surprised if this is the GS. No way are they dropping the spindle, and this looks more like a Toyota front end. If I were to guess, I'd say it's the next gen Toyota Crown. Fun to see, though. Thanks for posting!

I would agree that this looks more like a Toyota than a Lexus. I hope the production version of whatever this car is doesn't come with the halogen headlights like shown in the pictures!

Seriously doubt this is a GS. No features whatsoever of the direction Lexus has been going...I agree maybe a Toyota.

If you look closely, it looks like the overall shape of a typical Crown grill, at least to me.

ES refresh comes before the GS, since both cars are midsize sedans, you can easy confuse them. My guess is that this is the next ES.

I still think this is not a Lexus, and the car's proportions appear to be a RWD layout, so unless they change that (I highly doubt it) it would be hard to see this as an ES.

OP, did you get so excited that you decided the thread title wasn't important?
