Kudos to Toyota for retaining the much loved family lines from the out going GS. While it might have the side profile of a Maxima, the front end is unmistakenably Lexus. Should help Toyota achieve the world's #1 spot as the largest automobile manufacturer!

Turbo? Why would you need a Turbo in one of those?

Typical toyota...conservative...boring...ugly. No wonder Toyota's age demographic is getting close to GM's Buick division.

Looks like a Nissan Altima/Maxima with hints of the Toyota Solara. I'm really disappointed.

Not that breakthrough IMO. Just too plain, but the interior sure is nice.

It is a very eclectic design once you look at it for awile. At first, it looks unmistakably japanese, but then I saw bits of German (side panels, roofline) and Italian (C-pillar resembles the Quattroporte)

its about time they came out with a new one. lexus bodies tend to last forever, except for the rx300 to 330 change. as for the power 300 is a lot but then again it isnt much considering nissan almost reaches that amount with their v6's.

lexus is in a real need of a sport division like ///M or AMG. and no L-tuned isnt gonna cut it...
