I remember when I saw Mr. Akio Toyoda speak last August 11' @ the 2013 GS350 Pebble Beach Launch Event...

I took these photos..






The next 2013 LS falls into the "Updated" category...

They ALL CAN NOT be new at the same time guys....

Well they could.. as they did in 2006, but I understand that there's needs to be a short-term pain in order to space out the new product release in order to keep new customers coming to the showroom.

 

Something like that.....

Also, not sure how we missed this thread title issue.. But it is NOT going to be a 2014..

Per the Lexus Pressroom...

I posted this prior to the official Lexus press release last week on Monday. I tried to change it, but I wasn't able to.

 

I'm sure it will get fixed now... LoL

Yes, plenty have noticed. In fact many of us knew back in 2010 when the first prototype appeared. Even in this 2009 photo, I realized that this was a heavily modified and updated W221.

 

10 more days and counting!

 

I am really excited to see what they did with the new one. It better be amazing because the new S class is right around the corner as well

 

5th post.

 

may be just a refresh, but still excited nonetheless

 

did a little edit of the above pic:

 

9 more days!!!

 

Not a teaser photo of the updated model.

It's the current model, they even used the same photo from their website:





Look closely.

 

^What are we looking closely at?

 

That the photo shown is in fact the current model LS, not the up and coming new model.
