No, that's built off the Mark-series platform. Unless you see an Aristo wagon on Toyo's Japanese site, we won't have a "G(S)-Wagon."

However, I think it looks OK, but it's tall, just like the rest of Toyota's new models. I mean the new ES is tall...Like borderline SUV-ish...

With the "success" of the sportcross I think Lexus should seriously consider how they make another wagon-like vehicle. Are they really making that big of a comback? There is a BMW 5-series wagon (beautiful for a wagon) and a Mercedes E-Class wagon, but I rarely see those and doubt they are high in sales.

The overall silhouette is appealing...kinda. This is what I see when I look at it:

- RX300 from the windows up
- LX470-like headlights
- ES300/Highlander wheels
- Altezza/IS grill
- GS side mirrors

Definitely resembles a car from the Toyota Motor Co.

Thanks a pic I haven't yet seen, gs600.
