That's one big grill...

Looks like a bigger C class in overall shape, hope the lights are good.

I'm willing to bet it will have S-Class like headlights and not GS headlights. They only look like GS headlights because of the camo.

They already have some of the best powertrains out so if they can get the drive and the looks right it will be a huge success!

In regards to the four headlamp, Mercedes used it before Lexus was even created. Not saying they can't use it but you have to agree with the facts. IT is facts after all. It's no false statement.

Having variations is fine but when Lexus fans claim their favorite brand innovated that concept that's just showing how much they know about cars.

If i was a car company i'd be embarrassed to have such fans that know nothing.

Big C or Small S.

Why just it can't be an E ?

Does it have to look like any other car.

Current E is so Elegent and looks nothing like any MB/or any other car.(CLK only taillights)

It's only u guys(mainly European/eurpoean fans)who says E looks like this or that.And that GS copied E class.

Even Jaguar S type,XJ,Bentley Conti...etc have qaud headlamps.
It means they also copied E class.

Your biass and hatred is unbelievable.

Agent 001 is the king of all Lexus Fanboys. Will he ever stop drooling over his free ride? Get Hyundai to comp him a car and we'll have to listen to him rave on how great a Sonata is.

SHUT UP ALREADY.

Do you know how much I abhor posts like yours?

"LEXUS IS THE BEST AT EVERYTHING LALALALLALALALA BLAH BLAH BLAH I LIVE IN MY OWN WORLD"

That's what it looks like to me.

S4Cabriofoxone - I think you're over-reacting. If you and other people would stop bashing Lexus style (they HAVE improved) i think they will stop being defensive.
And no, the GS wasn't made to compete with the Mistubishi Galant. Where did you get that from?

The LS is a great car!

It's just posters like that that make me crazy!

German car fans can never learn to ignore anything. Do you know how many of EL34 and Audiboy's posts I have ignored? It spares a lot of frustration.

Stop fueling the fire with your attacks and let them be.

Oh, and don't forget to deboost this post to make me feel bad...

No matter what MB does to this car there will always be comparison's with others on close it looks and how it might have copied a design element.

It's the same as the new S-Class and the 7 Series...

I hate to be this way, but has anyone actually looked at which Mercedes first had quad headlamps? I started looking this stuff up because I was curious, the first modern Mercedes I can find with quadheadlamps is the 1956 220 S convertible, however, the two secondary lights are not integrated into the body structure of the car they are attached to the bumper: the design is actually a carry over from the prototypical designs of almost every car company in the 30s or so. The first Mercedes to have four distinct [that is an important word: they had those vertical headlamps which apparently hid them under a single glass housing.] lights integrated into the structure of the car was the 1976 Mercedes-Benz 200 as far as I can tell.

The problem with that is that the Jaguar XJ6 came out in 1968. In addition, this wasn't a first for Jaguar. the 1950's Xk had 4 integrated headlamps: at an angular offset. The 1950's Mark VII also had 4 integrated headlamps. The 1950 MArk V also had four headlamps: non-integrated in my opinion, but off of the bumper]

Which Mercedes are you exactly talking about?

Wow. Unlike all of you, I can't see through the thick Mercedes camouflage.

It looks like a sedan with black tape and rubber covering it. At least to me.

But yes, the tape is only of the highest quality...

My comment was primarily in response to this:

"Even Jaguar S type, XJ ,Bentley Conti...etc have qaud headlamps.
It means they also copied E class."

Which I think is an attempt at a logical fallacy [Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc], but it isn't valid, the XJ predates the E, and the S-Type is based upon the 50s XK and the Mark VII sedans. They have nothing to do with the E.

The present 350 is a looker by any standard, what MBZ needed to do was very few changes and assurance that they have sloved their computer problems and embarrasment of such low consumer ratings? Dump Chrysler, write it off like a bad marriage and get back to quality control and inovation. Try not to have Lexus into the plant for a couple of years would help also?
