Default Full Spindle Grill

is it only me, or would everybody else love to see the next gs350 fsport come with a full spindle grill like the new is250 fsport?

No thank you. I like the grill the way it is. The one on the IS looks kinda weird. Especially the proportions (too narrow).

It's starting to grow on me for the IS350 but I don't think it would look good for the GS. My first impression was

It will, at the mid cycle refresh I'm sure.

I think it's perfect as is. It doesn't have that "HEY GUYS DID YOU NOTICE MY GRILLE" look that the IS does.

i HOPE the GS gets it at some point, i think it's very nice.

will be similar to the GS concept, which i just noticed has the IS front LED's!

It's hard to picture what the GS would look like without that stupid front license plate, and adding the side mirrors. The full spindle grill on the LF-GH certainly scared the **** out of me, but I've warmed up to it. I expect to see that on the mythical GS-F.

Mythical, lol. So true.

Bring full LED turn signals, back up lights, and fogs for the GS F. Full hourglass front would be great as well. But I'm happy with the current design. I like the front of the IS, but the rear and the inside just don't strike me as appealing.

Hopefully we will see some unveilings early 2014 for the GS F

I actually like the wheels on the LF-Gh, a lot. Too bad they're not offering those as an option.

The grill on the IS looks like the front wheel of the Batcycle bursting though the front of the car, "Alien" style. Hate it, would never, ever buy a car with it.

Look on the bright side though. When Europeans inevitably get hit by these grilles, they will have hilarious marks left on them. Maybe they can say they got hit by a giant fishnet.

(only joking of course but Europeans get positively nailed every day of the week by cars)
