No pics yet, since I'm in GA, I'll probably wait until tomorrow to see the LS, it's 11:40pm here now and I guess the 'party' is just getting started in SF....Oh well...what I have seen so far which isn't very much, this LS looks sleeker and the wheels are 'on spot'. A good sign of things the come!!

The reveal / event lasted 8 minutes. What a joke.

Was that presentation just a little to San Francisco for anyone else?

What a lame premiere! Other than the 3,000 new parts comment and the tidbits on pre-collision and LKA (and seeing the LS on the road), there was nothing new! I should have gone to bed

Beautiful interior pictures in the pressroom website, though. Very tastefully done - even noticed Blu-ray capability in the DVD player. Nice.

What is up with the steering wheel design? Couldn't Lexus just use the one from the GS? It looks much better.

I've learned more about the new LS from this thread than the official reveal. Lexus needs to do a better job.

I would have been much happier if Lexus just gave us some hi-rez shots and the specs, no need for that idiotic reveal.

I think that presentation was very internet-based, they were relying on the quirky designs and designers to attract young people to make Lexus a cool social brand.

Definitely not something for an LS but I think they were trying to get the point across that the LS F sport can be a cool brand that young people would want.

As far as an online premiere goes, I guess they might've accomplished their goals without alienating their core base of clientele.

All kinds of things wrong with the typo in the Ultra Luxury package specs, lol.

Power rear seats with climate control + lumber massage + butterfly headrest
