It will be look just like the spy pictures (but with door handles), they will be AWD and the engines will be the same as currenly produced. He said most likely only AWD on the V6 not the V8, and his impression was that the rims would remain th same size. But the price would increase due to the restyle. Probably 3-5K.
RX will be the same but $5000 more due to hybrid technology.
I actually do not belve all of this, I can not wait to see the actual thing. These guys in Omaha are usually always incorrect, well at least my experience with them shows this.

AWD on the V6 only ?? if they screw up with that kind of nonsense, they will truly be sorry. I think that info is incorrect. I can't imagine them doing something so minute as to just change the physical appearence of the GS and making it look like that horrific LF-S. I'm holding out to see what this thing has to offer. If it's a disappointment, then the 2004 Acura TL it is !!!

Lexus press release status "more powerful" so I presume that the same engine will not be the case.
Or at least with a substantial (30/40 hp ?) gain
I like the LF-S, it is different but it has nice lines and looks a lot better than the 5 / E

What time is the unveiling tomorrow?
The Lexus website mentions something about a Detroit press event tomorrow at 8:30am eastern time.
I hope that's it.
Waiting sucks!
