You can always find positive from something negative, it is actually great that the 4GS being what it is, it helps you save money by not wanting a new car
I actually love it, I really shouldn't say all these bad things about it. This 4GS makes me love our 2GS Sport Design that much more. It is a classic that just can't be surpass.

when the 4GSh comes out, i'd really like to hear your opinion about the 4GSh design constraints compared to 3GSh design constraints regarding total system hp output...

Did you guys start reading some of the responses circulating on the web in regards to the leaked pics? Its funny, because even some reputable editors and journalists are not feelin' the design of this whip. Damn, I'm seriously pissed off because I love the Lexus brand so much and to see them going in this direction seriously breaks my heart. Im still hoping they will do something drastic tomorrow, like have the CEO come out and say "GOTCHA!!!" followed by the presentation of a BADA$$ 4GS...still hoping.

It is silly how so many claim to love and respect Lexus but suddenly a leaked set of pictures come out and it is enough to completely deter all interest away from the brand. We could just patiently wait for tomorrow!

Funny thing is I most remember Rolls and Jags having quad headlights since I was just a pre-teen (& even then they were not the new models), the have quads earlier than the E, the first E-class didn't even have quad headlights, it wasn't until around 1996 they put quad headlights on them, even the first generation SC have quad headlights before the E-class ...

All I can say is that if these spy pictures are the real deal, the odds of me getting another one when my lease is up next year just went down considerably. It looks like a cross between the current version and a Hyundai Sonata. Why they would do that is beyond me.

I was never a fan of the quad lights, looked even more awkward on the 3GS with the chrome surrounds. The rear ones were even worse, glad they got rid of that but sad it's on the IS300.

Not sure why some are wondering if this is the real deal or not. This is it. The design is the design. The only variables are color, wheels, suspension height, and better photography.
The tail lights or grill isn't going to be redesigned between now and tomorrow.

It says on the Lexus GS site that the live reveal is tomorrow at 7:15PM EDT/4:15PM PDT. Does it mean we're going to have to wait until then before seeing shots of this car? If so fail.

Okay, have it your way. It is the real deal, and it's really disappointing. And I'd be willing on betting that the automotive press will not be kind to it from an appearance standpoint. It had damn well better be one hell of a car and not go up more than a few % in price. It has little room for error given it's disappointing looks.

OH.....MY......LORD....
Please tell me this is NOT the production version of the new GS????
What happened??? I mean......WHAT THE @#$% HAPPENED???
Seriously, the production version looks like a Chinese knock-off of a Hyundai!!!
LMAO....WOW....I know Japan is going through rough times, but god geeeeez, I didn't think it would be this bad.
Lets all hope and pray the F version looks something closer....MUCH closer to the concept.
EPIC LEXUS FAIL!!!
