MatadorF1 will be mad at me, but when I first saw it I thought it was a Chinese knock off. No joke.

I should have been more specific; a Chinese knock off a Lexus I guess. All that chrome/glitz in the front and the rims just reminds me of a Chinese knock off car. When I think Chinese car; I think chromed out front/grill. But that could just be me.

I think the problem here is not the chrome grill, but the shape of the grill itself. Looks kinda cheap compares to the one in the GS and RX.

I don't know. It is something about the front end. All that chrome, the grill and especially that chrome bezel around the grill.

I think the pics don't do justice for the car. New GS looks so much better in person than in the pic.

Maybe. I'm just going off of what I saw from the pics. Haven't seen it in person. But as most things, it is up to personal taste.

I suppose, but next to the GS it looks wrong. In those pics it really does come across as a Chinese rip off of the GS. Also, it looks lazy to me. Like the designers said, "Take the GS, stretch it out, balloon a few features, and slap an ES badge on it.

And I found this photoshop job in the lexus forum link. Not bad. Still, I'll reserve any more judgement until I see the actual car in person.
