If that is the spindle grille that is supposed to be the new "face" of Lexus, it could be nice if it was refined a little bit more. It's definitely an improvement over the exaggerated grill of the LF-Gh!

that spindle grille, as it is drawn here, is disgusting.

looks so awkward.

If that were the real production spindle grille, i'd rather have an acura beak.

here is another photo floating around about the new LS.

All-new spicy Lexus LS coming in 2013!!!

Lexus seems to be very busy developing its new lineup, since the LS will be also replaced with a new model in 2013. The current model is a really good car, but it lacks character in my opinion. Well, this may be about to change judging by this rendering. So, BC claims that the all-new LS 600h, which will continue to be the top of the line version, will be powered by a 5.0L V8 engine delivering 400 ps and 55.0 kgm of torque. Oh, then we've got the electric motor! Fuel efficiency should be around 15.0 km/L, which doesn't seem a lot at first glance, but we are talking about a big car.

None of these reflect any sort of realistic concept unless there are pictures from official events or from Lexus themselves.

Time will unveil the truth.

Both cars shown have front air intakes that are too aggressive to be an ES or LS.

I do however like the top photo. That could pass as a new IS, but I am sure it's fake too.

So much potential for the Lexus line-up. After years of no changes to the core models, we are about to embark on a new era for the company.

I know this picture was posted before, the picture above the supposed LS, could be the ES. One thing the headlights on the car above seem interesting... it looks like it has multiple bulbs.

Impossible. This will deviate and be blasphemy for the LS styling.

LS always has from 1993 to 2009 a straight window line, and not a raked/sloping window as shown in the chop.

1989–1992


1992–1994


1994–1997


1997–2000



2000–2003



2003–2007



2006–2009



2009–present
