What I really can't wait for is to see what my new M5 will look like. My deposit will go in at release, unless the mythical GS F makes an appearance and can compete.

BMW, back to gorgeous albeit conservative designs. I'm really digging this new 5er.

Thanks for the pics, Rashoodz. After looking at the pics, and a few videos...I love it. Will definitely look into purchasing.

I find it a little odd that they went with the older TT I6 as opposed to the new 325hp version.

That interior is fantastic and I'm quite liking the rear end. Still warming up to the front end however, especially the headlights.

E class and 5 series both stepped up their game big time. Lexus better get the GS right on track.

You guys actually like them going back to boring bimmers?
The Bangle stuff has enough style to be able to sit next to other high end cars without blinking an eye. The old stuff didn't look stylish enough to hang with a Benz or Jag. So they go back to plain Jane....I don't get it...but I don't have to. I drive stylish Lexus cars.

i know it's a lexus forum and all, but what's so stylish about lexus compared to this 5 series? i don't get the homerism here.

GS is the definition of plain Jane IMO. and that's one of the reason it didn't sell compared to E and 5. LS is elegant and sexy, but GS? meh.
