Fill in the Blank: 2012 Lexus GS Interior Shots Reveals The Relentless Pursuit Of ____?

Lexus GS Interior Shots Reveals The Relentless Pursuit Of Blandness.

that was a good one,LOL!

The interior looks like a toned down version of the LFA.

i agree they tried to give it german flair at the same time

And that German flare is ruining it...
Lexus needs to go with what the GS has been and have more swooping lines that mold instead of break 'like the German cars.'

The folks at Top Gear already have test driven the car and gave the new seat design a positive review.

The pursuit of copying a Jeep Grand Cherokee interior. Toyota, US base in Torrance,Ca has a billboard on 405 Freeway of GS concept front end. Toyota is in similar situation as Cadillac was in when started "wedge" theme. They know they need to reach a younger market. Good luck.

Good grief does that interior look cheap

Hopefully the steering wheel works properly unlike the LS

@ Deutschland. I'm going to have to agree with you on this. Interior looks cheap. That big center stack screen looks awful; like some play station in there. What is Lexus trying to accomplish with a center stack area this large. Are they trying to say "hey we'll have Google Maps so now you can see better on our large screen". I want the flowing lines on the interior dash, doors area. I want to feel symmetry between the dash/lines and driver, not an oversized TV screen dash. The interior materials such as the plastic, leather seats, door panels, turn signals, knobs should all exude and ooz a sense of richness or quality feel in this segment of cars (based on pricing on 2011 models). I don't want "gimmicks". The duct tape will be gone in the production model but they better do something with that center stack area. Once blogger said this car 'will be the leader in this segment'. And I have a bridge at a discounted price to sell you too.

You really can't tell a quality interior from a picture. It's like taking a picture of a grand canyon and showing it to your friends. It doesn't do it justice. The same goes for every interior shot. You have to see it in person.

2012 Lexus GS Interior Shots Reveals The Relentless Pursuit Of duck tape

me no likey

009,
I'm pretty sure the E class and Infiniti M both have equal if not better than the A6 and 5 series.

Everybody pull up your favorite chair, along with the popcorn so we can watch the HUGE screen in the "center stack" area. Are we trying to focus the attention on the center stack area. I dislike when car companies have this 2nd center stack area. IMHO it cheapens the interior of any car. Keep the dash area clean with some flowing lines.

Like how Audi does it with it's pop up screen. That's even 'tackier'.

Class Leader design and ease of use......

The relentless persuit of tricking gullible Americans into thinking that Lexus is on par with BMW/Audi and MB.

So true. Everytime I see a Lexus ES350 I say to myself; "BMW wishes that they could build a car like that".

Exactly! And the Lexus RX owns the BMW X5. The RX is the benchmark in both comfort and performance. Not to mention it's aggresive looks.

"Even then, it would retain the horse and buddy ride common in all BMWs. But LexSUCKS, street punks like you prefer the horse and buggy ride quality, so lucky for you, BMW still builds for punks like you."

- So you prefer cars for old folks? LOL!! And besides, you don't even know what you are talking about. The Lexus IS-F was criticized for a harsh ride in relation to the BMW M3. The only way that Lexus was able to make the IS-F compete with the M3's handling, was to give the IS-F a suspension that was much harsher than the M3. BMW was able to provide great handling yet still managed to give the M3 a complaint suspension; The BMW M3 has a plusher ride than the lexus IS-F.

Saying that BMWs offer "horse and buggy ride quality" tells the whole world how far off the reservation you Lexus fans are. Lexus fans are the most uninformed car fans out of all the car manufacturers. Some of the stuff that you guys say is insane. You guys are an embarrassment to American car enthusiasts.

The relentless pursuit of leather. I've always loved the style and shapes in Lexus interiors (the swoops in the RX especially), but was surprised at the lack of quality natural materials. This is a big step up, and I look forward to the next LS interior.

O, and I think the tagline is now Passionate Pursuit, no?

The Old Caadillacs from the 70's had this Maroon theme.I think it sucks.The CTS V is way more tasteful.

Interior looks better than current car but can see little BMW styling cues in it. Seats and steering look great and very performance oriented hint at a very serious sports sedan. Hope grille is two piece and not a single frame like Audi's.

The Passionate Pursuit of the E60 5 series..........no wait, the E-class....no, I mean the Infiniti M.

Soon everyone will copy, Hyundai take notes ........

Stole the TL's interior! Everything down to the door handles. From whta it looks like it looks a lot like the TL from the exteriro also, of course the badge whores will love it though because its a Lexus

Give me the Jag XF or new Audi A6 interior anyday.

I Think these pictures show that Lexus is in real Relentless Pursuit Of a Good Interior Designer! Good Lord! This interior reminds me of my sister's old Toyota Cressida.

why is this car trying to be sporty?

The line running from the upper passenger side dash to the nav screen really bothers me. So does the marrying (or lack there of) between the front doors and the dash.

I Completely agree. Why Lexus is trying to be blockier is awkward and un-Lexus like. They need to clean up these lines and make them flow 'a lot' more.

I will keep my judgement for the finished product.

Meh, streamlining their designs with the LFA halo car, but it just doesn't work. Even after adding wood/carbon/aluminum/whatever trim, it just doesn't look spetactular. Audi's A6 and BMW's 5 interiors (in my opinion) look far better

That really cant be the final design, it looks cheaper than a Kia.

THIS should have been the Taurus update for 2003. Way better than a 2003 Taurus interior.

This interior doesn't seem to suit the GS. It looks like a redesigned LF-A interior which really doesn't have that "limousine character" written over it. This interior seems more fitting for a sports car and not a sedan. It's also ugly at that. The current GS interior is one of the nicest Lexus interiors ever in terms of design. It may have been hard to replace it in terms of design, but Lexus clearly ruined that chance with this monstrosity of an interior design. Absolutely dreadful.

Then again, Lexus design inside and out has never been consistent. Remove the badges and a Lexus sedan looks like your generic premium mainstream sedan.

New class leader in sales. Remember this quote 1 year from now......

Relentless Pursuit of a 1980's Buick

pursuit of Industry standard blandness. Besides Audi and current BMW, no other car company has good looking interiors in my opinion.

Relentless Pursuit of Putty. Great sedans have interiors made by craftsmen that design the tach, seat, and dash. This looks like it was inspired by a 1969 280SEL's dash but molded by putty.

Congratulations Toyota, they officially recreated the 1992 Mercury Sable Dash!!! The relentless pursuit of Mercury.
