Question ACURA Vs. LEXUS

Does anyone else think the new LEXUS GS looks an awful lot like a CL?

Hell no! I think it looks like a G35 but with better proportions. Looks hot as hell and I want one.

I have no pics, sorry guys, as for what makes me think, I was parked next to one, and the lines and shape a sorta similar. Oh well, it's late and I just thought I'd ask. Not so sure it was the GS now though, ES 300 now that I think about it. Oh well.

It doesn't look like the ES300 either. This is like that post about the BMW 6 series looking like the CL. I like the CL, but come on now. It's not the worlds greatest car.

Yes, they are sweet, but I'd rather have the ASPEC RL.

DAMN that trunk looks stubby. Could they have extended that rear window any further?!?

It looks really good in person, but in that pic it looks odd. The side panel, lower sill area is 5-series-ish.

One of the most photogenic cars IMO is the S2000.

You have to see it in person. Black and in person is even better.

The body doesn't look like a CL to me, but the grill on the GS is exactly like a '98 CL from what I saw in a commercial.

There is no comapring the power and luxury of a GS430 with the 98 CL 3.0- (my daily driver)
I have a 2001 GS430 and love every minute driving it. The new ones are a little different in shape but essentially the same car (at least the 430).
I guess they have a love it or hate it styling.

Get an RL!!! But you HAVE to get better wheels for it. I can't believe the stock wheels look so suck on a $50K+ car.

My parents fell inlove with it. My dads probably going to get rid of his 740il and get the GS. (his BMW is a 94'...time to upgrade) Actually tomorrow were going to the dealer to look at it again and to talk about pricing and trade in value. If they end up gettin it, I'll definitly be sure to post picts...
