Awesome, except that the LS seems to have almost flipped over LOL. I assume this is a test car lent to media for test drives. Don't think a Lexus employee would do this.
Got video?

I LOVE it!!!!
The new LS looks to have received a much-needed infusion of sport!!! Still refined, of course!
But I wouldn't have that tray table opened with drinks on it at that time!!!

Because a burnout is possible? Please...that's possible in any vehicle.
But I will be interested to hear what the reviews say of the new air suspension to see if comes anywhere close to the amazing MB (ABC) system.

This pic is from the Motor Trend article, and having read it, the LS 460 sounds very promising indeed!

Is it just me or do those stock rims ruin the look of that car? Makes it look very ES330ish. I really wish they had something like the current LS430 wheels available (especially those sport ones)
