For those who said they won't pay $xxx k for x car, you can come back and tell us when you have that money to spend. That's what I tell them. Your perspective changes when you really can afford it.

Lexus makes good cars and people always complain about the grille on the F sport models. They are still doing pretty well, aren't they?

They "sold" (technically leased) every $450k LFA, I'm sure they'll do fine with this.

Comparing Infinti to Lexus is a little stale, Infiniti hasn't made anything relevant in about a decade.

That looks stunning, can't wait to see all the design details in person.

We know it's going to handle well, and if they put the right badass engine in there too... oh my.

That reason right there can not be overlooked!

i do like the new Lexus grille on certain models, it gives that aggressive look like with a mouth wide open and just going to swallow what ever is in its path

Since we're getting all "nostalgic", here's my significantly modded one...




Complete with Motorola Timeport (flip-phone) mount!


Definitely at the time one of THE cleanest in all of DFW!
hahahaha!!!! good to see you still around, Marcus!!!! and though i've changed my screen name from the CL days...im sure you'll remember The Grinch.



hell...i loved the 1st Gen GS so much that I bought Tiny's a few years after I totalled the Green one...



hopefully, this 550i i bought last week will do me as well as those cars did.

Sorry but Lexus can do with a better grille design by any industrial design major in college

WOW!!! Ha!!! Talk about a blast from the past... How's it going man? Ya know, Chris and I are good friends! He'd probably beat me in an arm wrestle tho. What a trip all these former CL members here.

By admission... I was NOT a fan of the "CYLON" Battlestar Galactica grill design Lexus went with. But it works well on this car and the RC:
