I sincerely hope not as once again it looks like a refresh.

Looks like a photoshop of existing models. A bit RC-F, a bit old LS. Hopefully not just another combustion engine. First fuel cell in a Lexus is what I expect, and, of course, Apple Carplay as well as Dolby Atmos 9.1.2. sound system.

That pic is a render. Lexus has always kept the flagship releases close to the vest, we won't know until they want us to know.

not a very big departure in styling...all somebody did was Photoshop the bumper hood and headlights...i think we will see something really different.

So what would you like to see on the next LS? specs? amenities?
The 2007 was a huge game changer with the 8 speed 380hp engine, available long wheel base, and hard drive based navigation. What can Lexus do to recreate that kind of impact?

I'd like to see massagers on all seats. Panoramic roof, larger maybe full led screen for nav,radio, video. Hud, 450hp+ option. And I'm sure I'll think of others.

If Lexus could start to match the power that the AMG benz has and match it with the bulletproof reliability its known for , you would see it completely dominate the market.

1. Limited edition 2 door no B pillor coupe like the Mercedes S class Coupe. H Model only

On all LS models a Stealth Option (no logos)

Turbo Diesel Engine option for Europe & North America

it would be awesome if the current "L" is the the standard wheelbase, and new "L" be something to compete with the Pullman/Maybach range which would allow both rear seats to fully recline, have self closing rear doors from the full open position, individual DVD players/screens, still have good trunk space, etc...

offer bullet-proof/armor from the factory?

Definitely think more engines should be available (4.6, 5.0, Hybrid, Diesel, etc)

Remove Tesla Logo on Model S and rename to Model LS with Lexus logo as well as Lexus quality/reliability.

If the new LS becomes a XXL Mirai I'm out of race

I like the door closers idea. That would be nice.

Perfect reliability for 30+ years
The ultimate in crash protection/ prevention
Truly customized interiors (e.g marble palace atmosphere with shiny trim accents)
The ultimate in smoothness, quietness, ride comfort, serene isolation, no steering feedback
The ultimate in performance ( handle well, blazingly quick acceleration, gobs of torque)
Mood lighting
Make sure EVERY control, switch, toggle, button, lever, is lit at night
Bi level climate control (many times I like a different temp on my feet compared to what's blowing out of the vents. Bring back the smart motorized vents
The ultimate sound system with the deepest, strongest bass notes coming thru effortlessly
TOE SPACE, THIGH SUPPORT AND ROOM TO STRETCH LEGS UNDER THE FRONT SEATS.
AN ottoman that actually accompanies 6 footers.
No exposed sharp edges under the seat mechanism.
Flying buttresses (card catcher or what ever u call them) that run the full length of the front seats.

Wow! i guess there is a reason you are called Pamperme!

in all seriousness though, i totally agree with everything you are putting down here being a heavy 6'3" dude myself. i would like to be able to really stretch out...
