Judging from those small sketches, looks much better than the Maybach IMO. Don't like that grille tho.

Actually, the headlights look like those of the Nissan Fuga concept




Actually, I'm quite confident if & when this car is unveiled, it will NOT look like these sketches. Speculative sketches have never been close to accurate with Lexus cars.

Ditto here. The sketches really mean nothing to me anymore.

Good to know the confirmation of a new flagship coming out from Lexus though.

BTW, there are some other "good-looking" articles on the site if you scroll down far enough.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised the 100k Lexus looks like a Maybah. Imagine a Lexus Maybach for 100k? OMG it would be incredible.

The tail-end looks more like a Solara than a Maybach

Good eye. I wonder if the supercar will be LF_S based in design? I don't think Lexus will be do different in potentially scaring away prospective buyers. With cars this large they are hard to make beautiful anyway.
The current S-class is perfect for a large car, followed by the A8 and last gen 7 series, IMO.

There are some speculation that this top notch tier sedan will simply be a stretched version of the next LS, ala 750iL .....makes sense, since it would be production viable $$ and build wise...

Yeah - the front-end wants to be a G35 (maybe even some Fuga as some have noted) and a new Maxima all at once - the rest wishes it were a Maybach ...

Kinda sketchy ... I'd probably drop my cash on the Maybach if it came right down to it.
