Why the hell would u debut a new f sport sports LS parked with some lameness. I agree awful unveil. Clearly I'm not the target market for it even with that new face.

Sorry to keep complaining, but are those the highest quality images available? I feel like I'm living in the 1996 version of the Internet.

interesting how the LS gets the same light bamboo color in the GSh, but the ESh gets a darker stain

Agreed. No information given whatsoever about the car. Just a bunch of useless info about pictures of celebrity couples posing (pix they showed none of in the end)!?!? The actual reveal showed the same pix of the car that were available on the internet already. The short video of the car showed flashes of each part for like a second. It was too short to digest any information at all.

Then they said for more info and pix, go to lexus.com. Well I went and there aint nothing there! I needed to come on this BBS to find out that the press release info is on the toyota website.

Oh, and I think I am in the target demographic as a 40 year old but that was just godaweful. And yes, a bit too San Francisco.

Horrible PR work. I'd have people fired for this.

I don't know if I like the bamboo treatment or not I'll have to see it in person. But it is certainly interesting.

Was the reveal something out of Bossum Buddies or something? That was terrible for a car like the LS. It was more fit for the CT or something. Holy smokes. So, is this "all new" or refreshed? Exterior and interior look all different, so I'm thinking this is the 5th generation LS and it's going to be the LS460 again. Not sure what to think yet, have to let the whole thing settle down.

Love the interior changes, but two different gear shifters? One with a boot and the other without. Maybe it's in the press release, but I'm too winded after that press release to search more. Lexus is certainly trying to climb out of their conservative role. Here's Buick's chance to fill in.

I agree, I felt the hosts, crowd, and entire event was all wrong for the LS460. I'm greatly disappointed.

The new look with Lexus is about being more sporty and aggressive from the grill and the new driving dynamic.

This stupid debut was so lame and artsy fartsy

This would've been perfect for the CT.

I like lexus but this is a big WTF

Other than that, I love the new look and the new interior.

To me it's a new design b/c everything is new: front, rear, interior.

Thank you everyone for posting the links and pictures
