Looking at this pic, I clearly see the GS identity:

My comment was not directed at Toyota but at the segment in general. I honestly wonder at the percentage of cars that are sold with such technology packages. Most of the folks I know who happen to get them, find themselves eventually disabling or turning them off (if an option) in the longer run.

I was just about to post this pic. This gives me a bit of hope, in liking the exterior look of the car a bit more. The back half of the car, says GS to me. Something about the grill though, not sure if its too small...but something looks a little off.

In all fairness, Nissan/Infiniti has been pretty shameless about stealing Lexus design cues in recent years so if it looks like an Infiniti, I'd have to say that it indirectly looks like other Lexus before it

those latest blurry pics posted above, look like they were taking from some video. I wonder if there is a video floating around somewhere?

That side shot looks like a bigger IS-F! Which is great! Throw some 20" wheels on there, gimme the F-Sport package, black white interior, IS-F Blue, someone photoshop it!

And can you imagine how much better this car would handle w/out the extra 100ish pounds needed to integrate, sustain and support those electronics?

I'm foaming at the mouth over the interior. I am less disappointed with the exterior as it's still too close to the IS for my taste. But it's my taste. I loved being able to spot the GS from a block away from the front or rear. But those days are gone and I guess I will get used to it and stop living in the shadow of the 2GS.

BUT OMFG I'd move into the interior.... Can ALMOST see myself letting the woman drive it and me resting in the passenger seat.... Ok, changed my mind by the time I finished typing that but at least it was a thought.

Only the GS-F for me however; I'm keeping the faith in you Lexus, bring it on....
