That's odd. Every car I've owned has gotten compliments. Maybe you're just too mean looking lol

Haha maybe. I think I'm approachable.

The thing I hate the most is the A6 doesn't have fog lights, just an ugly plastic insert. The safety feature makes it a little better by having cameras where it looks like fog lights but still not in love with that design on an otherwise great looking car. The GS just doesn't have any awkward ifs/ands/buts IMO. They all look good.

ItzFilyO: I like the combination of silver and F Sport wheels! And the lip is like a cherry on top. Nice car!

Very,very nice, ItzFilyO but...

I love the 5 Series exterior design.Not a big fan of the GS exterior but the 5 doesn't come close to the GS when it comes to interior design.The GS interior is the main reason I went with it.It's fantastic!

Ugly, really?! Who said that!?!

Likely just the automotive press was stunned and didnt know what to think comparing the new style to the old Lexus's of yesteryear when they first saw this thing!

+1 for Atomic Silver, its my favorite!!

Attachment 495016

This is a foggy day that doesnt show the color well, sadly no mountains or sunshine but you get the idea!

This is the biggest compliment one can ask for

I really like the GS. The rear end is a bit blocky and didn't like it at first but after having my car for over 6 months I've really gotten use to it and don't hate it anymore. I especially love my Cabernet interior and the mirrors that looks futuristic when they fold in from being locked. Love it
I never had a direct compliment either but in early days my son caught people checking out my car quite often. One time my wife was still in the back (I always have the side shades on), I and my son went inside a store, a few guys were walking around checking the car without knowing my wife was still in the car. And yes, it takes time to get used to it and appreciate the design esp. from the back.

The lip makes a big difference. The stock bumper looks good already but once I installed the lip I was blown away by how much better it looks.

I'm going to need a new bumper if I remove the front plate cause it's more than just 2 holes behind it. And I kinda like the Lexus script, like those in a car show.
