Lexus has released a sneak peek image of its upcoming all-new GS 350 luxury sport sedan, which it will be unveiling at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 18.

The darkened silhouette depiction doesn’t reveal much about the fourth-generation car, but does highlight the distinctive new front grille – essentially that as seen on the LF-Gh – that will soon be seen on all future Lexus vehicles. The new GS was spotted testing on the Nurburgring in prototype form last month.

The company says the completely redesigned vehicle will feature styling cues – again, largely previewed on the LF-Gh – in line with the brand’s new design philosophy, and will also lead the rest of the Lexus lineup towards an entirely new direction in terms of driving dynamics.

    No. Not that grill.

    Please Lexus. It looks awkward.

    The 2nd gen GS was nice to drive and sit in while the current 3rd one seemed smaller and less fun to chuck around.

    I hope this will not end up a failure.

    Ugly “toad mouth” design front grill.

    errm… bit different from the concept especially the grill… yeah same design but now looks like they make the grill horizontal line and the headlamp less radical compared to the concept if you look closely. Don’t like the concept but I seem like this final model.

    The front looks a bit like the CT200h. Will this be Lexus’ new corporate face?

  • The new Lexus Grill looks similar to the Audi single frame grill which Mitsubishi has an inverted version for their models.. I believe the new GS interior will not change much from the concept, let’s wait for the official release photos.

    Methinks Akio Toyoda should be applauded for sticking the concept grille on production GSes.
