This car is a technological tour de force but all the focus groups in the world cannot make you design elegance and beauty... even though the reviewer is praising the aesthetics of Lexus's new GS....

What don't you like about it?

I think it's a great car but do not agree with the reviewer about its looks. My point was it is very hard to capture the design qualities of a Maserati for example.

I am tempted to give this car a test drive but just couldn't see myself in it after the QP!

I think that 99% of the other autos on the market have trouble competing with Maserati in the style category. Mas is at the top of the game.

I've always felt that Lexus was one of the best when it comes to interior styling, but I haven't seen this new GS in person so it's tough to judge. Based on the photos on their website, it does seem to be a departure from past designs which I've liked very much. I hope they haven't jumped the shark.

Agreed!

From the article

But my favourite part is the clock surround. Unlike other car companies that press or cast their aluminium from molten raw materials, in the Lexus it’s machined from a single ingot. That’s just the sort of attention to detail you get when the boss has been involved.

Well Maserati do a pretty damned nice clock too

Far more legroom in the back of a QP and in the Lexus GS series!
