It looks okay, I think they could have done more to make it look more like a serious player in this performance sedan segment. Side profile is just bland and dull, although it has some changes from low trim GS models... it's just not enough.

It looks nice but it doesn't have any part of the design that is surprising. It kinda looks like a pretty expected Lexus sedan. Nothing too exciting as far as design, but I'm sure that the performance will be the big draw for it.

Compare to current GS models, it has some exciting things, one of them being the headlights.

I love it!

Wouldn't change a thing.

Looking at the original photos along with the set MotorTrend released really gives you a better look at it.

Can't wait to see it in person.

 

[Lex Luther]

The Motor Trend pictures do give a good look at it. It looks good, but I am still not blown away. Maybe I am just a harsh critic. I like this picture with the headlight and orange brake caliper shown.

I just find it slightly TOO much boy racer vs say the classier M5...

Perfect example. That was along the lines of what I was hoping they would do.

The IS-F was a good example of this, although I did wish they took it up a notch a bit, but over all that wasn't boy racer, much unlike the GS-F.

I do see how you would think the GS-F is more racer looking but I don't find that to be a bad thing. I think it makes the GS-F more interesting than the BMW that you posted up. I think that will be the thing that attracts people to the vehicle.

BMWs are now so common here in Sydney, I wouldn't consider one for that reason alone. The Lexus IS also seems to be everywhere (the pre-2014 design). However, I am yet to see an RC outside of a showroom (I get mine in April - Ultra White with red interior).

I think Lexus are doing the right thing by trying to offer a more aggressive styling approach than the competition. There is a huge demand for individualism, and the new GS F should benefit from this too.

Fair, of course it depends on how one views individualism, I'll give it distinct for sure...

 

[Lex Luther]

BMWs are becoming all too common, I would agree. In the end its about getting a good vehicle though, and I think Lexus accomplishes that. Great value and quality.

 

[soarer]

BMW's are common enough but if you own the right model, that won't be too much of a problem. My eyes still light up when I see an M3/M4
