Infiniti went from no grills to water fall grills to a similar grill the LS/SC has had for years now. I like the fact Lexus has different grills for different cars. IS and GS have vertical and most everything else has horizontal for 20 years now.

the car itself doesnt look bad. great looking shot from the second and third pics. it would be extremely hard to drive that, however. 22" rims are overkill, IMO.

Overdone. I'm not a fan of monchome cars. This car needs some brightwork to give the eye something to focus on. All I see is black, black, more black and some big rims. The stock M with the factory 20's is much more handsome.

Agreed! The idea is just fine. The execution using these particular wheels was not. They look bland and dull. But I'd like to see more shots of the car (if avaialable) as it looks badass.

GORGEOUS CAR with Grill, lowering, etc.

Wheels are hiogh quality 3 piece forged BUT bland color wise.

I would keep everythign the same and paint the front face of spokes high gloss black while chrome everwhere else on the wheels. Now that would look SICK.

Otherwise, this is a BEAUTIFUL & BADASS CAR. however, I think it is priced a bit too high. Should be $6-$10K lower IMO.

LEXUS GS - get your SH_T together, everyone is leaving your fat A_S in the DUST!!!!!!!

...in your opinion. Apparently BMW selling out the 2011 5 series in NA hold a much different view as well.

I've seen the 2011 7 Series in person and I have to say the car is absolutely gorgeous.
