Hey fellas,
I ran into this in a Swedish car mag....before I spill the beans on what this is thought to be, I wanted to share this spy photo with you all.....it looks to me like a GS that has been blended with an LS .....maybe it is the 2011 GS ??

I think the symbol on the trunk resembles the H for Hyundai but the swoop line from the front coming into the back door then starting again come off of an early Cressida which swooped over the front wheel then another over the rear wheel.

The emblem looks like it's a Honda. Car even kind of looks like an Accord. It could easily be the next "Legend" model (higher grade than an Accord), which I believe isn't sold in the U.S.

That is funny, I think it looks just like your car's lines LOL.....this could easily be a GS, though it is thought to be the next gen Buick LaCrosse, perhaps with a new name invicta....I am confused on how people think it looks ugly or whatever, I think it looks amazingly similar to our GS with a pointed trunk and revised lights and LS tailpipes, I liked it...

LOL

When the 3rd Gen GS first came out people didn't like it to much but soon enough they loved it!!!!

The 2008 LX570, Land Cruiser owners hated it but now there warming up to it!!!

BMW owners hated the 335i design but look now, they love it!!!!

A new shape and form takes time for the eye to appreciate, I've seen it happen on every car forum....lol

on MBworld the w221 S Class was hated but now its loved...lol
