Default 2016 GS200t at Pebble Beach

This just went live about 10 minutes ago.

Due to my long commute, I'd date the hit in power to get better fuel economy. I still want to see if they'd do the full front spindle grill on the F-Sport.

When I originally refreshed the forum page, it should 10:11 for you but whatever. It's good to see I'm not the only one that was THAT eager to get this information lol. I think from here on out, I'll just post in your topic. Your's seems to be getting better traffic anyways. The important thing is getting the information out.

It all depends on the implementation. The 528i is a great application. But, if you look at NX200t vs X3 28i, doesn't bode well for for Lexi. Let's hope they don't screw it up in the GS 200t application.

The front end is a mish mash of styling cues borrowed from other models. The less aggressive spindle design of the 2013-2015 models fit this car much better. The new front end looks pregnant. The headlight is beautiful, but then that separate running light looks tacky. The rear of the car is spot on, the new lighting elements in the rear make the car look modern. The interior which was great to start with looks just fine. The new trim pieces are nice a touch. The new engine should improve mileage without giving up too much on performance.

Im torn with it. I love 3/4's of the car. The front end just seems like Lexus is trying too hard to incorporate the same face onto every model. It doesn't work that way sometimes. Then again Lexus isnt the only one that's doing this.

I prefer the swoosh inside the lighting element of the current car. looks cleaner.

In terms of performance perhaps, but the NX just won a Six Player Luxury Crossover Shootout

Yes, I was talking about the engine/tranny, because ppl seems to bash the idea of a 4 banger in the GS.
