2. GS450h (new)
3. LX570 (update)
4. ES350 (new)
5. ES300h (new)

12. this last one I am not sure about at all. It could be a new IS/ES/LS variant, the new IS F or the GS F, or it could be an updated GX.
Of course, all of these guesses could be wrong

The IS/ES/RX are all due for a update and the GS/LX have been announced. Im hoping that last slot is the next gen ISF or rumored GSF

Thanks for that catch, edited for clarification. That solves the last vehicle which I wasn't sure about, since that would have made it #13, and new/updated product #13 doesn't arrive until 2013

Just like the word fish. One fish, two fish within the same species unless it's two different species then you can use fishes.

That is correct. The plural of Lexus is Lexus. Lexus is a name, how can you pluralize a name? I do remember reading on the Lexus corporate website that Lexus is used singlurally and plurally.
