I think I still like the older body better I guess it'll grow on me. I like the push button start though.

It looks OK...

I don't get this picture though, are they trying to say that you can play polo with your new GS??

Wow, thanks for the pics. I'm not crazy about the styling (very unorginal... you can see a lot of 5-series), but it should be a strong contender. I think it'll do well.

No like here. The front looks like a E-class and the rear looks like an Infiniti I30.

I don't see any 5 series (last gen or new). I see a lot of G35 and new Maxima.

I like this new Lexus though.

I like it. I think the styling is a little too like the new Maxima, which isn't a bad looking car IMO.

When I look at that think all I think is " Glorified Maxima", atleast that is what it looks like to me!

Great, a Nissan Maxima banged a G35 and 9 months later this POS comes out!!

yeah I agree with Blackregal, the rear end needs a little work

PrinzII · 01-08-04, 09:59

I'd buy one because I actually like the styling. I also like the fact they are (potentially) going to have a GS430 AWD.

I like it a lot, the enthusiast community hates it. Everyone hates the ES too but I love it so go figure lol. Lex must be doing something right, they've got plenty of best sellers...

Lexuses always look better in person also.

One thing though, its supposedly a 2006 not a 2005, which makes me wonder why it was released now. It wont be on sale until April 2005...

And the AWD GS430 looks like a no show, according to Lexus only the V6 GS330 will be AWD, the GS430 will remain RWD. The lack of a power upgrade has the enthusiasts pissy also...

All in all though I like the car, have to wait and see it in person though. I dont see any 5 series in it, but I do see some Maxima, and actually some Saab in the front end. What I see in the windows and the rear end is first gen GS300. Front headlights look like the first gen Lexus SC and I can see SC430 in the doors. And E Class? Dont see that at all.

I actually see the start of EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN for Lexus here...
