New Lexus GS

I think the new Lex GS is one sexy car but I've only seen it once in Toronto. How is the car selling? Do any of you guys see this car often. I really like the styling direction that Lexus is taking so I want them to do well.
BTW I can't wait to see the new IS on the road.

I see around ten a day in my neighborhood. California probably has more new GS owners than the rest of the US. They are nice.

The GS is one fine automobile, but I like the ES330 more.

Man I am glad to hear that. I just hope that Toronto will have more Lexus owners because I want to see that sexy beast around.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like the new GS. I think it looks ok, but the 2nd gen is still the best looking IMO. However, I do like the interior of the new GS.

I really don't see the connection between the GS and Maxima. Where do you see the resemblance?

Chindo, the connection people see with the maxima in general is the raised trunk line...if that is what it's called. inspired by the chris bangle's redesign of the 7 series that most people hated so much , the maxima, avalon, GS and other cars have followed in the 7 series footsteps. There is also a resemblence in the C pillar.

did someone mention what i just put here already?

BMW 7 Series


Nissan Maxima


Lexus GS
