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.
I'm not trying to convince anyboby here. I'm just showing what I see, nothing more and nothing less. If you or others see it diferrently, I have no problem with that. After all, it all comes down to personal prefs. likes and dislikes

Once again, not seeing any similarities, if that was the intention.

Well, this is a little disappointing...I'll comment again when the good pictures are released, but so far it's underwhelming. Front end is nice, rear end is not bad. That side profile hurts, especially the rear window kink.

2 more days, and then I have a feeling the mods here will have a busy week. Banning and warning people

Yes the main major reason the 996 wasn't popular is because of the non-traditional headlights, but I am sure the Boxster having the exact same front end didn't help anything.

Where has all of the brilliant designing from the late 1990s and early 2000s gone? Does Lexus really expect to compete with the European elites with this garbage?

Guys, this is my SIXTH warning about knocking off the comments about the people posting in this thread and keeping on the topic of the 4GS. I recognize you may be obscuring who you are talking about and not calling someone out directly but its the same issue. Keep the conversation here polite and mature, whether you like the 4GS or not.

I've just created the new 4GS forum and will open it up during the PB launch. People that persist in ignoring these requests / warnings will not have access to that forum

No more warnings, we've already done that. Just banning

Keep it on topic folks.

I am wondering the same thing.

The front end is nice, but the rear is just ugly.

Like someone on this board once said, the 2GS will never happen again.

2GS is the highest point, GS400 was EPIC.

1GS was the most stylish, but 2GS was the most unique. Still to this day, no other car looks like a 2GS. You can spot a 2GS from 2 miles away

Indeed but I still have hope for the 4GS. I tell myself that it's low res pictures, it's not real, it could be a Chinese knockoff....


P.S
Plus, what we are seeing is an awd model. Perhaps a slightly lower RWD model with 19's, may change a thing or two
