*Waits for 1SICKLEX to rip someone's head off*

 

Actually the IS was the first car. I prefer the LS. They did a bad job redesigning the GS, that's why I would pick my 2GS over either anyday.

 

At first sight I *loved* the IS, perfect shape, front, side and rear, but that was too small for my taste. Then when first I saw the LS I though "Okay, that is a big IS". I must admit that the GS style had to grow on me.
Now I still think the IS is the hotter of the Lexus, but it should be a coupé.
I must say I believe that the GS is the one with the most character and the one that is going to last the longer in term of styling, I'm already bored of the LS. I do not even want to mention the ES or worse the SC !

Not to show off my car or anything, but the GS is *beautiful* !

 

I actually like the front of the IS250/350 the best. The headlights of the 3GS makes the front of the car looks a little droopy to me. The LS460's front end is a little bland, but I would say it's a tie compared to the 3GS's nose.
I would definately pick the LS600hL's front end with the LED headlights over the 3GS's though.

Too "Nissan" is not Lexus' fault. I have to agree with 1Sick here. Lexus definitely designed the 3GS's side profile before anybody has publicly seen the Maxima. I actually like the 3GS's profile aesthetically, but I still give the edge to the LS460, especially the L version.

No question here

The 3GS interior actually looks too stark to me, although some may say it looks "clean".
The LS460 nterior while comparatively busier does not look cluttered to me at all. Edge to the LS for me.

Totally agree here.

 

No, the 3rd gen GS was the first L-Finesse model, followed by the IS, ES then LS.

 

For us the GS is the right Lexus. The IS was fun and sporty, but a bit too small and the interior didn't feel as classy. The LS is too big and too expensive for us.

 

I go back and forth on which one looks better.

If the Camry and the ES did not exist, I would say LS hands down,
but in my opinion they share WAY too many styling queues... I saw
a Camry from a distance today and I thought it was an LS
I've made this mistake MANY times and I know exactly what these
cars are supposed to look like.

On the other hand, the GS shares a lot of features with the Nissan
cars and I have confused and have seen people confuse the 3GS
with Altimas and Maximas.

In the end, I think I would need fewer mods on the LS to make it
look the way I want, so I will say LS, but not by much...

As a side note I think the best looking car in the whole lineup that
looks the most distinct is the IS.

 

the LS460 blows away the the 3GS. the 3GS is my least favorite of all the new l-finessers.

I agree lexus did a poor job on the remodel of the GS.

 

Hmmm but if it wasn't for the 3GS rims...

 

what can I say? they did a better job on the wheels than the rest of the car.

 

On paper ( back in Car & Driver ), I was like... hell no!

...then i saw a pea green GS300 ( first one ever ), and I was like... damn,.. a big body Maxima?? What tha hell.... wait... it has an L??? LEXUS???? WTF!!!!


....then, I dropped the SC400 off at the dealership and they had a black and a white one,... and looked at the interior, and was like HELLLLLLLLLL YEAH!!!!

....I saw the LS,...and was like HELLLL YEAH!! Only complaint is that it does look like a bigger camry more than anything I've seen.

The GS has similar lines of a CLS.... and yeah,...the rear end doesn't impress me... but lowering the car.... makes it look even more sleek... so I don't fuss too much.

The LS looks like older person car to me... but still could be gangsta.

 

Dont get me wrong, my wife and I own a 1st gen GS3 and are on our second 2nd gen gs (upgraded to the gs4 from a gs3) I love both of them. To me the 3rd gen looks kinda like a 1st gen and 2nd gen mashed together. It looks good. But... people the LS says "Im a baller" all over it. I rub one out every time I look at one. In fact it looks so good to me that im debating on getting an older LS and just pretending like im a baller. lol

 

i love the ls460l/ls600hl, and i like the is250/350 a lot too. the gs, sorry but it just doesn't do. the car is out of proportion imho

 

i think its close...
i would normally say LS but if you look at it, the LS and Camry look veryyyy similar...thats the turnoff for the LS to me..
both beautiful cars..but since im younger i think i could pull of the GS better...

 

The comments from some of you describing your dislike for the gs reminds of how I used to feel. Then my wife won an arguement and we got one. Over the year I began to love it....so much that we now have 2. I think it's uniquely styled and that's what I like most. I hate cookie cutter designed cars. As much as I don't like the sc430, I would still drive one because it is so unique and stylish. That's what today's modern Lexus is all about....unique style...trend setting style.
