I am being dramatic with my comparison of the grill to the Predator but I am being honest as well. I don't think the car is ugly, just the front facia on the GSF pictured above. The GS350 is a little better. The car doesn't flow imo. The front is aggressive but the rest of the car isn't.
That's why I sorta like the 5 Axis car because the whole car is aggressive, matching the front.
In the movie, the Predator's mouth/face fits the rest of his body. Would the monster look right if that face/head was on a 5'10, 180 lb body? Nope.

The front of the ISF is aggressive without being too bodacious. It works with the rest of the car. Lexus could have done better....and they will. We know they like to refresh models.

I may see the car in person and like it.....who knows!

I really hope you were smoking something when you type this statement. I think people should hold judgement on the 4gs until it hit the road. From the pics I still think the 3rd generation GS looks better and the 2nd generation made/did make a bigger splash. Other than the hybrid part I don't find the car all that special. Sorry
The truth is that Lexus didn't build the best car they could have built. The car really sound like something Acura put together we'll give you a a nice interior and a nice technology pkg but I'll powertrain will lag so we can save a few dollars. Hopefully they will uncut the competition in price.

I have to say after owning 4 different GSs' (2 300's 400 and a 430) and having a good amount of other Lexus' like IS300, 2 SCs' and the LS430 I can honestly say I dont know if Ill get to love another GS as I do my 300. There is a time though that everything will change and cars are going through these crazy transformations.

In short Im on the fence and will be getting an LS460 or the GS350 fsport. After that test drive with Scott Pruitt im really leaning towards the GS F-sport. The car feels amazing and that interior is top notch... more so to me than the LS460 for the "sportiness" aspect of it all.


and back to your topic the g/f will be trading in her IS300 for an IS250 fsport or a regular CT200h I guess its all about upgrading in the end ... same as philly said up top I will be driving my 2000 GS300 with 71k miles till the wheels fall off of it too

i would trade my 2GS for a 4GS in a heart beat!!!

i love my 2GS and i have a 1999 and the maintenance is killing me. it's not the cost (maybe a little) but the time and effort it takes to research the problems and then the amount of time it takes to bring it to the shop...

I don't really have any inclination toward the newer GS models as well. The only other Lexus I'm really interested in right now, besides the 2GS, are the LS430s.

14 year old design still looks current sorry I have to disagree with the 2GS is just old. Not at all as long as vendors keep coming up with new ways to keep the 2GS fresh we'll still be here! I LOVE the 5 Axis GS-F sport and that's the ONLY reason I'm tempted by the 4th Gen. I just might trade my BMW in for the GS-F and keep my 2nd Gen. It's so hard to let go of a car that's in mint condition. And let's not forget the Lexus customer service aspect. Buying the CT200h was the best car buying experience I've had in the 10+ cars I've purchased.

what were they thinking with that front end shape. I didnt like the 3gs when it came out either, but i dont think this one is going to grow on me. Its feeling kinda like a newer nissan or cheap ricer body kit or something. Its also a little dissapointing that they ditched the signature 2 and 2 headlight and tailights. meh

The only GS I don't like is the 3rd Generation, that one looks so dull (I do love its front seats!)

The 2nd Gen's body style ages well , but the interior not so much.

The 4th Gen looks very promising. I like the overall design, sporty and intimidating. I love the interior (except for the steering wheel which looks to bulky to me).

I think Lexus did an exceptional job on the 4th Gen GS.. I was a little shocked that they carried over the tranny and engine HP but all in all they did a good job. I would definitely buy one if i could afford it. An $800 + car payment is not in the near future. Plus I've been thinking about an SUV maybe. Still keeping the GS4 but lets face it upgrading is in all our futures at some point. Whether its new or pre-owned it will happen.

I also cannot get over the awkward front grill of the 4GS. The hour glass angle is too drastic for me. I'm used to smoother and more subtle lines. Not a fan of sharp edges.

I'm getting another 2GS when mine passes away. I'm at 228K miles and adding about 250-300 miles everyday. Has never once given me a problem and I don't suspect it will for another while. Besides, I can just put all the parts and stuff in the next one that I have in my current one.

The 2GS just ages so well. I still stop and stare at it every time I walk up to it; I even do a double take as I walk away. It's just beautiful.
