What Happens Next And When?
Those of you who have been following Lexus for years--what happens next as far as more specific specifications, options, and pricing are concerned for the LS460? Do we wait for a brochure? A press release or press conference? Leaks in the media? And with an estimated October date for the LS460 to be in showrooms, WHEN could these announcements be expected?

Yeah, but...
WHEN do you anticipate pricing or options will be announced? Those of us with an LS460 on order will have to know by August (I figure) what options and pricing will be in order to get delivery of what we ordered in October. Now its going on May. Over the next 3 months whats gunna happen and when?

Very strange.
not sure how the pricing and such work with pre-orders though, didn't pay much attention with the 3gs and the 2is

im wondering about the mid cycle re-fresh, know its a few years away but what else can you do to the car? i mean its already beautiful and theres not really nothing else to add? i know will have to wait till like 2011 to see or something but its a wonder.

I'm wondering what the development costs on these 4.6L and 5.0L engines will be...after all the original LS 400 engine lasted 2 models, I believe, and was modified for the LS 430...(newly-bored out and all that)...
...so would they then move the 4.6L engine out of LS class and keep it for, say, the GS? And then would the LS 600 get a 5.5L or something or maybe not? All these Lexus rumors of more and more engine changes has my head spinning a bit.
