Yes, lesson learned for me...

My bad Ichi!

The left quarter panel angle does look very E60ish!

About the grill, I don't see how that will make it to final production; from the crash test perspective.

I think it would look better if they covered up half of it! Check out my sick p/s skills!

I will make any Buicks look gay. When I say "gay" I mean you will never buy or even look at it.

2012 Lexus GS 350 Leaked - Click to view gallery

Quote:

It's weird for us to report on leaked photos of a car that we've already driven, but we still haven't seen the completely finished 2012 Lexus GS. The sedan will make its public debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this coming weekend, but it appears that photos of the unwrapped prototype has already leaked onto the web.

Seen here in all-wheel-drive GS 350 guise, we must admit that the finished design is decidedly more sedate than what Lexus' teaser image led us to believe. Keep in mind, this car is the spawn of the attractive LF-Gh concept from the 2011 New York Auto Show, and while all cars lose a bit of sex appeal in the transformation from concept to production, the GS seems to have lost a bit more than we had expected, especially out back.

In any case, this looks to be the low-end of the range, not the F Sport or V8 model, and we'll hold our final judgments until we see the finished product in Monterey. Stay tuned for the full details this weekend.

Nice to see that they didn't blend in the nose grill with the front grill like the LF-Gh. It also looks like it's missing the chin spoiler unless they designed it that way!?!

Overall it looks good.

Not impressed. It looks like parts of 3 different cars meshed together. The front is a little busy, but I think it looks decently aggressive. The rear looks like it was taken straight off a Sonata, but lacks the Sonata's design elements throughout the rest of the car. And the midsection is just plain boring, transferring none of the LF-Gh style of the front through to the rest of the car.

RRnold · 08-17-2011, 12:17 PM

^ maybe b/c it's all stock thats why it looks bland. I can already picture it with some Works or Volks, a nice clean lip kit and looking clean!!

Matador · 08-17-2011, 12:23 PM

I'll reserve my judgement for official pics, and in person.
