SW03ES Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Cool! Its growing on me too, I really like the front end and profile, but the rear's going to take some getting used to.
denslexusgx470 Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 :o the rear is kinda for me.... :whistles:
SKperformance Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I love it anyway you look at it ,nice narrow !Removed!-end to me. They sure have a lot of kids with chaulk playing on that track. Must be a P.A. day in Germany.
SW03ES Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 That might just be my next car in a few years, have to see it in person.
steviej Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 looks like from the bottom edge of the side windows and up got pinched in. That means less shoulder room......not good for me. Kinda looks almost like a Saab from a few angles. we'll see. steviej
Matthew_McNally Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Kinda looks almost like a Saab from a few angles.steviej ← it looks very Saab-y :( I was pretty PO'd because I had to change in October, so couldn;t wait for the new shape GS 430. Having seen these shots though - I am not so unhappy BUT need to see it in the flesh - I have a proven history of dis-liking new cars in photos, and loving them in the flesh (the limited edition yellow IS being a case in point)
Matthew_McNally Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 New Lexus GS wins the Auto Trophy 2004 in Germany thanks to its new sophisticated designThe only chance to see the new Lexus GS was at motor shows and in magazines. Nevertheless, those glimpses were enough to impress 84,000 German readers of "Auto Zeitung" and "TV Movie", naming the new Lexus GS the winner of the 2004 Auto Trophy prize for imported Luxury cars. The coveted awards were presented last Tuesday by Volker Koerdt, editor in chief of "Auto Zeitung", at a celebratory gala in Berlin. "The GS is the first model following the new Lexus design philosophy. I am pleased that just a few visual impressions were enough to convince so many expert readers of Auto Zeitung and TV Movie", said Markus Schrick, Managing Director of Lexus in Germany, when he received the prize. The Lexus GS gained 16.5% of readers' votes. Auto Trophy prizes were awarded in 25 categories. "The new GS represents the next step in the evolution of the Lexus approach to design", commented Stuart McCullough, Director of Lexus Europe, "The brief to our designers was to capture a combination of elegance and simplicity in the new design. It is especially pleasing that this approach has been acknowledged by the readers Auto Zeitung and TV Movie, even before the car has gone on sale." The new Lexus GS will be launched on the European market during spring 2005 with two engine variants, a new direct injection 3.0 litre V6 and a 4.3 litre V8.
SKperformance Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 When will toyota ever learn and bring it to our shores dresed to kill. Like an M5 or atleast a wanna be to be able to be tweaked then kick its !Removed!. As usual another let down for no 4 wheel dirve and steering with twin turbos.
denslexusgx470 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 will hybrid be an option??? :whistles:
ArmyofOne Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 the front looks kind of "avalonish" to me...the rear looks much like a cross between the saturn Ion and the new BMW 7 series. i like the front, but that rear has got to go.
93LSOwner Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 I'm not really sure about the looks neither. Because I really loved the old GS (98 and up). But, can't really say until I see it in person. Pictures are pictures, but looking at it in person comparison to other cars on the road is something else. :) I just made that up. :P
VMF Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 nothing special about the exrerior IMHO, looks a lot like new maxima
SKperformance Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 show me a GS to face off against this BMW So far this takes my first place for a replacment on my next car.
SW03ES Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 The new 6 series is a great looking car I agree...
Lexusfreak Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I want to drive the new GS with the AWD & 6 cyl engine! I have a funny feeling that it just might be my next ride several years from now.......I like it much better than the new RL. :) B)
1SICKLEX Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 show me a GS to face off against this BMWSo far this takes my first place for a replacment on my next car. ← I find the 6 and all new BMWs resembling Satan's turds....Bangle has no sense of proportion and luxury. His cars are a mess. And 80k for that subpar interior. No thanks.
silvermate Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 i don't know if i like that either........man the GS model b/f this one is just plain out SEXY........i love that one....... the new kinda looks like a honda accord. <_< that beemer is nasty looking, sweet ......looks like it will run like a scalded ape....
