2006 Lexus GS (nice?)

txusa03 · 10-31-2005, 11:01 AM

I must admit, the Lexus GS reminds me of the e90. When e90 photo first came out, I did not like it (it is not very photogenic). Same with Lexus GS, it does not look very nice in photo. But in person, it has a very nice exterior design. What you guys/gals think?

It does look nice until the back quarter view and rear. The rear, IMHO looks bloated - the Hofmeister kink copy C Pillar is not well integrated, makes the back look like it has a hump.

None of the GS/IS has a rear that doea anything for me, do not like the light treatment at all.

I have not seen the inside of it or seen it at night with the lights. But there is one in my neighborhood and everytime it drive by, I just get more impresed with it. But I still like my e90.

Yeah, I have one which parks in front of my house regularly (familly of one of my neighbours). It is a dark grey colour - similar to SG. Again, the car is very nice, but compared with its competition (A6, 5 Series, E Class), I think that both the A6 and the 5 Series look better than it does.

Then again, taste is very personal - I have always been of the opinion that, based upon exterior looks - the 5 series is the best looking mid sized luxus sedan on the market at this moment (A6 is second), again IMHO.

As my e90 - I loooove its looks, classy aggressive.
