I mean...I have really given them the benefit of the doubt, and I like the interior tweaks, new gauges look great, but that front end...yikes...I might go to hideous.

interesting that they debuted the NON F sport,

After clicking through images for the last 15 minutes, I will say the '16 NON F front is way more aggressive than the '15 NON F sport, I'm wondering if they will just have one bumper for "16 and the only thing unique to the F sport will be the mesh spindle ?

I think it is beautiful! Futuristic yet retains it heritage styling and class.
I bet in person it will be even better, sometimes photos expose more or less exaggeration.

I agree. I actually like the fact it has one giant grill. That's one thing I've always loved about Audi's (particularly my friend's A8L). It gives it an aggressive look which the GS deserves. I've always scene the ES as the less aggressive mid-sized Lexus and the GS is the more aggressive one.

I don't mind the one grill, its the folds and lines, and how far the front cup sticks out, that "beak" look I don't like.

I don't like it much, but it's not the total disaster I was expecting. It has a better integrated look than the GS-F. Annoying as hell that we didn't get to see the F Sport trim tonight.

If the nose were flatter I think I would like it more, like the LF-Gh. Thats an issue I have with the NX, 4RX, also.

They make a GS200 now really? 200?! That thing will be slow. They should be boosting up that 350. 4 HP increase doesn't count! At least up the torque to 300.

And they bring the old Luxury wheels back I see.

I like the new styling though, I'll be trading in for sure. But not for the 200! The FSport better come with the fancy gauges.. cause that one looks cheap.

This refresh just ruined the GS for me. That front bumper looks too similar to the new Camry. I also hope Lexus doesn't go the RC route and only put the triple-L headlight only on the F. I hope the F-sport looks better than this non F-sport shown. Also disappointed by the slight, modest power boost (if you can call it that) in the GS350. Not excited by the GS200t either. That thing is going to be so slow.
