I won't miss it, it's seriously outdated IMHO, & it's design won't cut it anywhere outside of Japan. It's been reported unofficially that there will be a LS600h. There's even a rumour of a Lexus L600 super lux model that's above the LS that will be the new Toyota flagship.

I think the GZG50 is still a nice looking car especially the one from the JP catalog. The older VG40 is way dated.

Really...where did you see the unofficial report? Did I miss it?

An LS600h would really be awesome. Not everyone needs/wants a LWB.

Isnt Japan getting the LS600h?? Not sure about the US though, but it a rumor.

I could have sworn that they were getting a LS460, LS600h and LS600hL.

Yeah, I know the Japanese market is getting what we don't, but I thought LexArazzo was perhaps talking about rumors for the US market.

Well according to toyota.jp the Century just got updated in January, so I guess it isn't going away anytime soon.
