I dont think the lexus looks good, the question is will it look like that when they are rolling on the street. Id also say that the lexus has less maintenance, but at the end of the day im driving a bmw and not a lexus, so obviously you can see where my loyalties lie.
but props to lexus, it looks pretty good. |

Id take the 5 series but still I cant get over the fact that it looks like a bigger 3 series which isnt cool on a car that should have more class and prestige

Unfortunately, many of us have been saying this for a few years regarding ALL new BMW models, yet they keep getting longer and heavier. This is a huge turn off. It is not just about putting in more powerful engines to overcome the heft, it is about handling, braking, etc. BMW is not doing better here, but worse.

So the Lexus is lighter, has shorter wheel base, 4 piston brakes, NA engine... Good job BMW
I wonder the fuel economy comparison? If Lexus (NA) beat BMW (turbo), then I would laugh hard.

This is no comparison at all. Plus the Lexus is still ugly as shit..

Stitched leather dash and a really nice looking widescreen Nav! I wish the F10 had a leather dash option in the US

The new GS looks like e60 very well.
When I saw the picture, I was really disappointed. I was proud of the Lexus style because I am Japanese, but to see the new one, I am not sure where the Lexus wants to go... |

Overall I'm happy Lexus seems to be taking more risks, this design is more edgy than usual,their styling cues are usually too bland for my taste. |
