Default What are the 9 new/updated Lexuses?
Jim Lentz said today that Lexus will introduce 9 new or updated models in calendar year 2012. This is in addition to 3 new F Sport models. Does anyone know exactly what these 9 models are? I can only come up with 7:

1. GS350 (new)
2. GS450h (new)
3. LX570 (update)
4. ES350 (new)
5. ES300h (new)
6. RX350 (update)
7. RX450h (update)

The next gen IS (will it still be the 250 & 350?) should be updated within 2012 as a MY2013.

The new IS-F and IS-C should come out in 2013 as a MY2014.

It should.

The current ES has been around since MY2007. It's due for a redesign for MY2013.

Since the Camry has been redesigned, Lexus will put as much bells and whistles on its chassis to make it their own.

not even sure it counts like that... there is also GS350 AWD.... then FWD and AWD versions of RX.

I think we will see most Lexus's updated this year, most if not all... maybe some will start selling next year like GS.

I tried to do the math using your logic, but then I ended up with 10 updated/new models. Which would mean that one of my original 7 is wrong.

CY = calendar year
