Urgh. An aggressive grill with "fangs", yet the rest of the car looks so damn plain.

Considering I live in the northeast, a large majority of GS's I will see will look like this. Small wheels and a high ride height.

Hope the F models look better. This is disappointing.

Your persistence is admirable, but some people will only ever see it one way

I think it's hideous, especially compared so some of the very reasonable and doable photoshops we've had in the past.

That rear end reminded me of the facelifted Mitsubishi Galant rear end first time I saw it.

And what's with that awkward rear door cutout? Ugh. Really let down by this.

I admired his persistence too, just refused to agreed regardless of how blindingly true it is

That's awesome

You think he is a lawyer?

I remember when the first LF-GH concept came out, everybody threw their arms in the air about how horrible it was, too much in the front, too bland. Then everybody started to accept it, now Lexus is copying Hyundai, Nissan, and BMW. Got it! Hope you guys don't change your minds later on, seems to be a lot of that lately.

There is so much emotion about all of this, you're all like a bunch of school girls.

Rominl said it right, I'm waiting for Pebble Beach to make a online picture judgement and reserving personal judgement for seeing it in person.

But even at low res, you can clearly see that the rear looks so much like,


I mean, if you look at Benz or BMW 5 you wont confuse their rear with another make.

No, I can tell the difference.

You'll be confused only if you don't have the eye for detail.

My mom thinks anybody with a dark colored suv looks like my aunt's green Rav4.

Bravo! You must be a very good fiction writer!

The rear end of the current E-class looks similar to the 2009-2010 Sonata.

Yeah I misunderstood what you were saying.

Family resemblance is good, but you need to be able to tell them apart from at least a block away. I am huge on this, I used to be able to tell what every car is or have, from a block away, down to the trim level, option packages it got........whether it is modded or not. When the W211 1st came out, I can tell a E55 from a E320 from a mile away.

Now seriously I can't tell the latest A4 from a A6, from 10 feet away, this is nuts! It is so hard to tell a E92 M3 from a fully loaded 335is M-Sport on 19s in a quick glance, I hate it. Now this, is it a GS or CT coming at me?

And thats the problem... The car in this price range has to be unique. You dont have to look for details. Like I've said in my post, looking at BMW 5 or MB E Class, the cars just dont look like anything on the road (yet). Even the Infiniti M, it may look like an oversized G, but at least it does not resemble the Hundai lol.

Anyways, at this point it is pointless to argue. We'll see what the higher res pics will reveal

I seem to recall the entire internet thowing their hands up because the back end of the E class looked almost exactly like the previous gen...Hyundai Sonata!

Back of the 5 is handsome but reminiscent of the original Infiniti G35. Audi's rear end is probably the most forgettable in the industry.

Everything looks like everything else.

The world is ending.

If it it pointless to argue and better to wait for the reveal then why were you trying to convince others that the GS looked like a Hyundai?

If we remove the rear plate of MANY cars on the road, they'll instantly look 10x more awkward, it may be the same in this circumstance.

Grill on CT is nothing like the grill on 4GS. You will have to see it in person to convince yourself. 4GS grill is growing out of the nose while on CT its flat.

And I am pretty much sure 996 wasn't popular because Porsche owners are a bunch of conservatives. 996 tried something different and that's why I like it but they got scared so they gave us 997 which looks like a predecessor to 996.

I don't see Sonata resemblance at all and I was wrong about LED tubes. Yes, Lexus people came to their senses finally and gave us some tubes!
