Default GS350 Sighting

I was driving on Rt. 18 in Central NJ at lunch today and saw on my rearview mirror what looked like a dark brown CT200h. I said to myself, cool, another CT200h. When it passed me, it was the GS350..gasp! The front looked very similar to the CT200h looking from my rearview mirror that I didn't recognize that it was actually a GS350.

I think it's because of the design direction Lexus is taking. The front of the cars look similar. The back of the GS looks like the IS, I think.

It is not as bad as mixing up the new 5 series with the new 3 series as the rear are almost carbon copy! I hate it.

Saw someone test driving a GS350 F-Sport today. Looks good in person. Guess I have to go down to the local dealer now. That's the bad part about living so close to a Lexus Dealership.

THe new GS is amazing. My dealership had a luxury package one, a regular one, and an f sport. The f sport front end is so aggressive and mean looking. I drove the regular gs in regular and sport modes. Driving in regular mode is calm and "Lexus" like but sport mode is another animal. It feels tight and it goes fast. The exhaust at the high revs sounds more like an isf because it has that throaty sound. And using the paddles to shift down it has a fantastic blip. It is a great car and Lexus is moving in a great direction.
