The first picture is clearly just the LF-A II but I'm wondering where that blue car is coming from.

So Lexus Europe will post a video of the conference at 6PM JST, which is something like 2AM PST. It's not as quick as I'd hoped, but at least there will be a vid (and like the 2005 / 2007 vids above, in Japanese so translations welcome ).

In any case, the automotive press is all camped out at Tokyo so we should be getting photos and press reports almost immediately, given the information superhighway we now live in.
