It will have what the RX has:

Thanks for the info.
I still can't get over the hideous hybrid grill.
Looks like the LS460 now has the same 10-spoke wheels as the LS600h? Nice!
Do the new headlamps look slightly larger ?

the new taillamps look larger and a bit more aggressive. I think i like the new rear end better.

I'm gonna toot my horn a bit because the past 2 Aprils have seen some prophetic ideas:

Instead of

"Lexus LS-F announced"

...we have the LS 460SZ with paddle-shift, Brembo brakes, and who knows what else.

"Lexus to add Diamond Edition customization"

...we have the L-Select customization program,

Photoshop (earlier)



Actual (2010)


The real one looks better!

looks like the rear chrome bar got longer... it should actually touch the tail lights if you ask me (if it isn't already). Makes the car look bit wider. I wish they can do something little more exciting with rear tail lights to make it stand out more...

One thing is for sure, you would really have to be a #1 enthusiasts to point out the changes between the two.

New wheel choices is defiantly a welcomed introduction.

That rear bumper/rear end is almost GS'ish

Those 2 tone interiors are pretty cool.
I'm just happy that something is being added for the LS

Oh, please kill the grill on the H

I'm going to disagree. It's going to look like the 750 then

The new rear end looks really good and way better than the current one. I think the hybrid will be an embarrassment to Lexus, because of the grille.

I actually don't care for the new rear end from these pics. How big do tail lights need to be? The current butt is perfectly sized and proportioned, IMO.

The executive package always have the same wheels as standard for both the 460L and 600hL in N.America, I really don't think you can tell what wheels come with what models from these illustrations alone ... may be different for different countries too ...

I'm not sure about the hybrid grille. It doesn't look that bad but it'd be easier to see it in person first, of course. Other than that, I like the changes for the LS460 and the SZ!
