Comparo: 535i Versus Just Announced 2013 Lexus GS 350

Cyrax91 · 08-19-2011, 04:07 PM

The BMW is so much better looking. The Lexus is ugly and looks like another camry or TL.

Agree!!

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.

Erhan · 08-19-2011, 05:04 PM

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.

rmastale · 08-19-2011, 05:53 PM

That supposed to say plus 1... Phone doesn't seem to convey certain characters.

REALIST-E60 · 08-19-2011, 05:59 PM

F10 for me but woww loving the lex as well!

rjd598 · 08-19-2011, 06:08 PM

doubt the lexus is faster in 0-anything i know it ways 300lbs less but i would bet on the 535i any day

RyanS · 08-19-2011, 06:34 PM

Lexus looks like it copied the Nissan Maxima.

mech888 · 08-19-2011, 06:35 PM

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

Nope. The refreshed LS with LED rear lights came out late 2009. The F01 came out late 2008.

+1

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

Merciphil · 08-19-2011, 07:48 PM

god the gs is ugly... and yes the f10 handles great for a big car or is it bc i have the m pkg on it

joey5622 · 08-19-2011, 08:01 PM

I'm liking the GS, looks like it'll be a good car! Not feeling the rear end tho, same with the a6.. Too sonata like for my tastes haha

Interior and front is on point tho!

Who said anything about the refreshed LS?

taka4707 · 08-19-2011, 08:47 PM

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...

Well, the non-refreshed version didn't have LED light bars like BMW

I thought the Lexus looked good up top, but to see it rolling, the Lexus is really really nice. I would like to see this in person, and drive it to make a decision. As of now it's a tie, but then again they offer different things. Sport Luxury = BMW vs Luxury =Lexus

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.
