the scarry part of this is that when the new GS is camouflaged, the rest of the car looks like the new camry...that's not good.

The scary part is you came to that conclusion because it looks nothing like the new Camry.

Just like the upcoming 3 series, the current 5 series and the current 7 series and especially the Audi A4,A5,A6,A7 and A8?

If one were to knock Lexus for deliberately aiming for a corporate look across it's lineup, then you should be crucifying Audi lol.

I think there can be a big difference between a unifying brand look versus basically having different sized versions of the same thing.

When the first gen LS, SC, ES and GS were all sitting on the dealer's lot back in 1994, they had that "Lexus look", but each was quite different.

IMO, the Audi A4-8 range is literally that : same grille, same headlamps, same rear, just different dimensions. At least, IS, new GS and LS, though you can see common design DNA, there are enough differences for one to tell them apart immediately.

Whereras for Audi, I need a few seconds to tell which model I'm looking at when I see them on the road.
