Notice there is no gas filler door on either sides? Final production version is going to be different. Hopefully not too different.

Now my mom has no reason to trade her ls430 in for a mercedes. And i still can aspire to own a Lexus LS when i get older.

I'm surprised Autoblog hasn't picked up the LF-Sh story. As for the model, I'm reading speculation that the exhaust vents will be replaced by more conventional ones...

the front looks awesome! i can't say that i like the rear though...it looks cheap to me.
and i don't like the side profile (mostly the rear). It does resemble the 7 series too much.

Not so sure about this being the LS replacement. I mean...it's still called the "LF-Sh", and we all know the relation between the LF-S and the GS...

I do think that this "concept" looks a LOT more road going than the LF-S did. Oh, and the front head lights remind me of the Volkswagen Phaeton.

The more I look at the LF-Sh the more I like it. Very clean modern sporty design. I love the front grille design and the lower front bumper design. Together they look so aggressive. It could eat up the competition.

Click on center LF-Sh picture, it's a video of the concept on the turntable at the auto show floor!
