The rear looks are welcome … but the front fascia isn’t appealing … the changes made to ES & IS were still acceptable coz of a much needed update … but this avatar of GS isn’t fascinating at all …

Agreed. The front end will remain ugly as long as they keep those detached front LEDs and the overly bold hourglass front grille.
