Jim Lentz said today that Lexus will introduce 9 new or updated models in calendar year 2012. This is in addition to 3 new F Sport models. Does anyone know exactly what these 9 models are? I can only come up with 7:

1. GS350 (new)
2. GS450h (new)
3. LX570 (update)
4. ES350 (new)
5. ES300h (new)
6. RX350 (update)
7. RX450h (update)

 

The next gen IS (will it still be the 250 & 350?) should be updated within 2012 as a MY2013.

The new IS-F and IS-C should come out in 2013 as a MY2014.

 

Is a new ES350 really coming out this year?

 

It should.

The current ES has been around since MY2007. It's due for a redesign for MY2013.

Since the Camry has been redesigned, Lexus will put as much bells and whistles on its chassis to make it their own.

 

not even sure it counts like that... there is also GS350 AWD.... then FWD and AWD versions of RX.

I think we will see most Lexus's updated this year, most if not all... maybe some will start selling next year like GS.

 

GS should start selling in Feb, this year

 

Yes, in August.

 

I tried to do the math using your logic, but then I ended up with 10 updated/new models. Which would mean that one of my original 7 is wrong.

 

Can someone explain what "MY" means in MY2012... Thanks

 

MY = model year
CY = calendar year

 

It's gonna be an exciting year!

 

New IS should be on the list. Can't wait for that and the new ES. Big big year for Lexus.

 

Big year indeed, can't wait to see all of them...

 

my logic was that i cant figure it out :-).

i think they will introduce all new models except for CTh within next 14 months.

 

I know of them...but not allowed to divulge.
