As this is in itself a refresh of the LS, the CT and GS refreshes should definitely be great .

last time i respond to a pre-release picture of the gs i was slammed so i guess i should keep this to the minmum.

if this is really something close to the final release
- i think it looks pretty good. the front is aggressive but at least flows better than gs fsport
- is it me or the rear starts to get even more of 4gs feel?
- i will try not to say anything about facelift at this point

Wow, didn't expect it to look that aggressive. Love the headlights, that is a bit much but I'll have to wait to see in person. Overall nice update.

Amen brother. Glad to see Lexus enthusiasts on a Lexus site. First response to the pic trolling Lexus on a Lexus site again and making some ridiculous Avensis claim. Yet he loves the Inifniiti predetor look and faps to the JX.

Every thread, every time.

How about when his favorite brand HAS a flagship, tell us how bad the LS is.

If this is the real deal with grill splitter in non body color then GS refresh can't come soon enough cause right now GS-Fsport looks out of place with that non chrome outline grille and body colored splitter.

Anyway love the tails, there is something classic LS in them. Good job.

The photoshop looks good! I think it's about 90% close.

When did I ever say I love infiniti or the JX? This is the only thing I've said about the JX:

Not bad looking, but also not sure why they need another SUV.
This is the CAR chat where there should be freedom to say anything about any car. I own a Lexus and have had two others in the past, I don't hate the brand at all. I've praised the new GS, like the new RX F-Sport, think the LFA is a great car, think the new ES looks good..etc Not everyone has to be a Lexus superfan all the time you know. Don't like my comment? Ignore it, heck ignore me in your User CP for all I care.

Other members, please keep this thread polite and mature discussing opinions of the vehicle (both pro and con are welcome), without the personal commentary.

To be honest, I think the front bumper looks really weird. I'd have to see it in person first.
