On August 18th, Lexus will debut the all-new GS 350 as a warm-up to the upcoming Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It will not just be the launch of a new model but of a new design philosophy that will be adopted by all other Lexus models in the coming years. The common element of the next generation will be the newly designed grille, which, following the latest design trends, is very deep. For now Lexus have just released the one teaser picture, which does give a clear impression of the new grille.
Cadillac will soon expand its range with the new ATS sedan. It will be the smallest Cadillac model available and will be pitched directly at the compact models launched by the other luxury manufacturers in recent years. The car sits on an all new RWD/AWD platform that has been specifically developed for Cadillac. As with the new Lexus, Cadillac have also only published a single teaser picture.
Well ahead of the 2012 season, Porsche have released the latest incarnation of the 997 GT3 Cup. The production based machine is obviously eligible for the national and international Porsche cups but will also be welcomed by a choice of multi-marque races and championships. The first customers will receive their new GT3 Cups in September. One of the most amazing bits of information in the press release is that Porsche have over the years sold over 2,200 Cup cars, which should make it the best selling racing car ever.

That Lexus grill looks like a smushed Audi grill with LED style headlights. The LED trend isn't going so well in my opinion.

And I'm waiting for Cadillac to launch the Cadillac AT-AT.

Imitation os the sincerest form of flattery, they say.

I guess this car closes the full circle, since with this Lexus have cars that have been inspired by the three german premium car brands. I guess that in the next generation Lexus will finally be able to find their own way.

Probably.
