*Just a guesstimate. The 2006 GS debuted in February 1, 2005 and went on sale a few weeks later.

they could have made an F grille for the GS too.
an appearance package is long overdue.
merc has their amg package, and bmw has their M package.
but i guess it doesn't make sense if you don't have a true F model first.
the current f sport accessories are weak sauce.

i will just say that the 600hl doesn't look all that exciting at all with the new "different" front end

I feel like this grille COULD have worked if they relocated that top bar to the bottom to balance out the space.
Something like this:

 Wow, can't believe Lexus signed off on that grill  . It screams Fusion to me now. I thought the LS was perfect before...

Even with that, the new bumper I think takes away from the original luxurious look. Now it is more econobox. Also the fogs don't line up with the inlets anymore. It's as if the LS is drolling a bit.

Unfortunately, the grille on the hybrid model doesn't look like good news IMHO
Let's just hope though that other aspects of the MMC facelift (like the added features) would be enough to make up for this huge shortcoming.....

looks atrocious no matter what you do to the grille.
still looks like a giant avalon.
it lost all of its lux appearance.
and WTF is up with the exhaust pipe outlets? did they change the top inner corners just because Hyundai ripped them off?
the old exhaust tips look way better.
now it just looks retarded and dented. looks like a clown car now.
