The new GS 450h will be showcased as well, but the BIG REVEAL will be the new LS concept car!

If it's Oct. 19 in Japan, then isn't it Oct. 18 in US?

Default Some new pics

Someone on another site just found this. Take it for what it's worth. The real thing, or just another mock up? At any rate, it looks very close to the pictures in the NewsWeek article. We should know soon enough.

Cool Bmw 7???

Is it just me, or did Lexus bring in a team of BMW engineers to design this thing?? Why would they choose the stalwart of german flagships for their design template?

well personally i am pretty tired of what car looks like what already.... hell, after all, they all god 4 wheels....

to me the 7 series doesn't do it, the lines are weird. but the LF-Sh are much smoother and looks better. and as long as the car is faster, better, more comfortable. that's all count

And the car will be better. Lexus won't break out of the box with looks, but they will kick the german's **** when it comes to interior, comfort, fuel economy, technology and price. Hey, it could look like a cardboard box and I would buy it if it was better in all those ways.
