I went to a local Japanese bookstore today to check out the Oct. issue of MAG-X. They have some spy-shots of the new LS being tested.
there are 2 versions: regular and long-wheelbased. Both had lots of camouflage, but the rear quarter windows look like these chops, kinda like the IS350 where the corner flares up.

I too want to see the new LS as more sporty and more along the family design of the new GS and IS.
It does need to bulk up, however. I think there may be a longer version of the LS to accompany the "regular" LS. Perhaps a bigger grill and more height/body? The wheels look big enough, and we'll have to see the trunk because most people hate bulky butts.
Personally, I like big butts and I cannot lie...

Needs bigger headlights. There aren't any big full-size luxury vehicles out there that don't have huge headlights. But they always seem to look good IMO

Yep, kinda like the previous 7 series. Proportionately smaller head and tailights compared to the size of the actual car.
