Not feeling it at all. I'll reserve my final judgement for better pics but....It looks more like a rushed evolution rather than a revolution.

that's likely just the tip opening in the bumper, much like the ls460. i don't see how they will attach the exhaust to the bumper considering all the vibration. just like ls460, easy to change exhaust

Not really sure that I care for the top grille. Looks unfinished with no lower chrome accent, though I know it's supposed to "open up" to the bottom half.

yeah, it was probably a bad angle. The front is ok, but the rest of the car is eh... We need to see the higher res pics first

Agreed. I actually really like the tail lights. We just need to see the rwd w/ the bigger wheels.

Very disappointing IMO. The front end has no cohesiveness at all, and the design looks all over the place. The headlights and tail-lights are too big. The concept rear end looked much better. The whole car doesn't flow because the sides are completely slab sided. It looks like 3 different people designed the car. I thought they would do a better job considering the 2G IS looks so good and has aged well.

Best way to judge it is to see it in person I agree but official shots won't be any different than this other than the appropriate angles like on a teaser. See teaser was shot facing the grill when in reality you will be looking at the grill from above just like on the shot posted here. And of course on official shots you will see exaggerated lines that you will not notice 85% of the time in real life under natural lighting.

well, we need to see the car in a darker color and not such a distorted angle and view cuz that's about as unflattering a shot as i could imagine.

the front wheel gap is also unforgivable if it makes it to production.

i'm sure it will look better at pebble beach.

It looks like a mess. Rear looks like a sonata, side profile looks like a Maxima, front view looks like a big Accord. 3GS looks way better than this.
