Infiniti M comparison (NOT saying they're similar, just comparing with competition):

 

The sideview of the M is ok, every other view - its fugly

 

Mr Burns you're saying that they look alike or what?

People say it looks like an Audi, some say Hyundai, Accord, BMW, Mark X, Infiniti M, Kia Cadenza...etc The thing is, ever thought all cars in this generation look alike?

 

I think 4GS looks better than the Infiniti M from all angles

 

i think most important part is that it looks like combination of GS and IS and LS, in real life pics and looks like an Lexus.

Just because Hyundai copied Lexus tails from 2006 models doesnt mean Lexus needs to completely change their designs.

Just like that side profile - if we compare it with 3GS, we see a lot of resemblance.

 

No, I just posted pics for comparison. Despite being on the conservative side, the detailing and surfacing on this car is executed far better than any Hyundai, Honda, KIA or Toyota, and from the pics above, the Infiniti M as well. The only car that is as good if not better in this area is the BMW 5 series IMO.

 

Once again, every time I look at this car, I like it even more. I think this shot is phenomenal.

The rear has really grown on me as well.

 

The final version is definitely much better than what I expected from the teasers. I was expecting the ugly huge black grille on the ugly Audis', but Lexus I think did a much better job in doing the "big" grille here. Tasteful and not offensive.

That's just Lexus, conservative of sorts, never outrageous, and never offensive. It's vanilla in a nice way.

Also, how many "different" car looks are there? Every car is going to look like some other car, unless you're talking a Bugatti Veyron, or Lamborghini Aventador, which are radical and not for "generic" volume selling vehicles anyway.

I think this will do just fine and is a fine design to succeed the 3rd gen GS.

 

got your point. can't wait to see what exclusive options they have for those cars, if any

yes, looking at the final pics, i do like the 4gs more than the m

 

This confirmed it for me. My new sedan will NOT be a GS. I think most buyers in this segment will agree with me in that the Germans (namely BMW) have won this generation of midsize sedans. Even if I did want to stay with a Japanese manufacturer I would go with the M series of Infiniti. Hell, I might even go with the Korean Hyundai and save a few bucks! I think Lexus' GS line has declined since the 2nd generation with the exception of the GS450H. But the styling is more bland than ever. The performance numbers that I've seen so far have been disappointing. I just don't know many people who will spend $50k+ plus for this when so many other better options are available. But I do understand that not everyone has my tastes and that there are many people that like these vanilla luxury cars that Lexus makes. Once I sell my current GS, I doubt that I'll buy another Lexus, with the exception of a hybrid model.

 

+1

 

So how does the 4GS look like the Infiniti M?

 

More bland than ever??

How is the GS bland? Excluding the LFA this is by far the meanest Lexus to have developed, the front is an obvious evolution of IS-F and it only gets more aggressive with the F sport and F models GS.

 

in the side profile shot above, it makes it look like the rear overhang is way too long and makes the rear doors look too short.

 

I think they want more trunk space ...
