I'm probably in the minority on this one, but at first sight I do NOT like that front end. The headlights remind me of the RC's which seemed cool in pics (definitely better than the hideous IS lights) but looked like a total mess when I saw them in person. I was very disappointed, and unsurprisingly it looks like the GS is following suit.
In addition, the two lower air scoops look soft and weak, and too much like the RC-F's. I definitely prefer the sharp straight lines of the current GS F-Spot's lower intakes.
I still want to see some different angles, but I'm not liking what I see thus far.
You're probably not alone. While searching for some news, this popped up. Although this new design may steer some folks away from GS, some of these comments are just pure haters. IMO a smart move would be to make the F Sport look more like this new F and not so much on the std/luxury.

While I'm just not a fan of many of the bold new grills like this one, part of why I don't like it on the GS is that the rest of the car is very classy conservative and the grill looks out of place to me. Given the direction they seem bent on, the whole car needs to be more like the more contemporary angular styling of the IS for the grill to make sense.
I just keep going back to the LF-Gh concept and how good the full spindle on that looked to me...the body there was pretty much the same as the production car:

This is what I was hoping for, put some real side view mirrors on it with a 500hp+ 400+tq motor under the hood and sign me up

I'm with you. The front end is very polarizing. But I thought the same about the IS at first but now I like it.

I've always hated the IS's lights. It's a shame because I actually like the everything else about the car. But no matter how many times I looked at the headlights (someone in my building has the new IS, so I literally got to take a good long look at it every weekday for a month) and it just looked so crazy every time. I knew it would never grow on me.
With that said, I saw the NX in person (from afar) and I actually liked how the lights looked. So it's not a problem of the DRL being separate from the main lights. It's about how the design is executed.
