Yeah I'm quite disappointed too... Don't understand why he doesn't review the F-Sport version if he wants to explore the driving dynamics of the GS.

If you're not already free the evening of August 18th, you might want to shuffle some things around: Lexus will be broadcasting the unveiling of the 2013 GS live, with a special preview to Facebook fans starting 30 minutes early.
The debut event will happen in Pebble Beach, just ahead of the Concours weekend, with the GS 350 model confirmed as the car on display.
If you want to catch the Facebook unveiling, hit up the official event page at the link below. If you want to learn more about what we expect for the 2013 Lexus GS, check out the official video here.
In the mean time, look forward to yet more teasers and info on the new GS as the date draws nearer.

LOL im so used to hearing oh lexus copied this and that. I dont see what the problem is in using others successful ideas like bmw creating its first crossover, the X5, after seeing how successful the first ever crossover which was created by Lexus, the RX300. Wait whattt????????????? Lexus was an originator? no way. Get over it. Bash this car all you want, you can say its ugly or its not original, say whatever you want to make you feel better. At the end of the day, the company listened to what we all wanted and it looks like they are delivering and that says a lot. For a luxury sedan, im all set with twin turbos or a supercharger. They still arent all that reliable. All we need is a tweaked V6, Infiniti's 3.7 puts out a lot of power. I know lexus can do it.

Lexus posted the GS teaser on Facebook
enhanced:
It looks like the design will retain the muscular hood and wheel well bulges of the concept, which is good news. Overall I think it's looking very good.
Disappointed with the foglights and the badge though, I was hoping the badge would be more like the concept's and not the shiny one on Lexus hybrids. We also don't know if the grill separation will be body colored or blacked out.
