Default UCF40 II / Ucf50

I was checking on wikipedia as I usually do for car info.

This is what I came up with ...

UCF40 II (2010)
UCF50 (2012)

It seems Lexus/Toyota, usually change the LS every 5 years, plus from a video I heard it took Lexus 4 years to design the UCF40 (LS460 / 600h).

I'm guessing after the christmas holiday they will be hard at work trying to perfect, a perfect automobile once again.

I wonder what the UCF40 II, will be like

Haha, well you can probably expect UCF50 to probably have SWB and LWB, for starters...

LS 530 and LS 530 L...

I'm thinking the next one will carry the LS indulgent theme further, and add even more technology that is still conceptual at this point. I'm thinking the use of TFT displays for the dash will become more extensive in that or a similar form, and maybe a HUD might show up...

Except also a newer, more Advanced Parking Guidance System.

Can they top the ML with 19 speakers?

There's no such thing as a UCF40 since the new LS is now referenced as the USF40 and USF41, LS460 and LS460L respectively.

UCF designation references the UZ series V8 block which has been discontinued in favor of the new UR series V8 block.

UCF10 LS400 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8 1990-1994
UCF20 LS400 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8 1995-2000
UCF30 LS430 3UZ-FE 4.3L V8 2001-2006
USF40 LS460 1UR-FSE 4.6L V8 2007+
USF41 LS460L 1UR-FSE 4.6L V8 2007+

BTW, the LS/Celsior info on Wikipedia is either partially correct or totally incorrect as with a lot of Lexus/Toyota info on there. I should go in there and correct the mistakes.

I have recently become an editor there, you should see how different the article looked several months ago! Feel free to correct any inaccuracies. Just last week I and others changed from "UF" to "UCF"...

I will correct now for the 4 LS.

If you have any other things to mention, you can edit it yourself or let me know, I will correct them.

One question we have been having there is what the platform is..."S-Series"?

Yup! It's a work in progress. I find that there is a lot of good information on there, but of course being user-edited there can be many inaccuracies. The goal however is to keep improving. I haven't found sites that offer as much information.
