I mean i respect the fact they make good cars because my sister had the old GS for years now but do they ever come up with an original design? I mean come on take a look @ one of their new cars supposedly the new LS but some have speculated it could be a toyota crown or something of that sort.

I agree. Look at the previous generation LS, again a copy of the older MB SL.

The current M45 and GS look the same to me.

Yes they do, I prefer the look of the GS though, IMHO i think the M35/45 is quite ugly inside & outside, maybe except from the side view!

They did, supposedly they were going to introduce "lexus" in Japan, I don't know if that is the case.

Same with Infiniti and Acura, they are badged as Nissan's and Hondas, pretty much everywhere but the US I think.

The car in the picture above is sold as the Toyota Crown Majesta or something like that in Japan. It has been out in Japan for almost a year.
