2013 Lexus LS Unveiling

EDIT: Hmm now I think that "navi screen" is just a reflection on the side window. Notice how the last pic below has no such screen? Guess there's no interior redesign after all. (Too early to conclude of course.)
Here's the source of that image with the rest of the pics, where we can see the front of a non-F-Sport LS.

Not sure if you guys noticed...there are a few things that have caught my eye:
1) The hood bulges on the edge and the middle of the hood.
2) The rocker mouldings have a stronger and defined look.
3) The headlamp design with the LED projectors and LED strip look to be the best of all the concepts and production Lexus vehicles.
4) The fog lamp assemblies look small, meaning did they go with projectors...and maybe LED to match the upper?
5) The car sits a lot lower than the current LS Sport. Lets hope it stays this way!!!

I guess I was wrong Lexus got caught slipping again with early pics getting out, more leaks than the Titanic.

I hope the rest of the LS line gets the full LCD speedo cluster like the 2010+ LS 600hL (standard across the LS line in Japan since '10).

So the interior has been redesigned indeed.

I'm personally sad to see Lexus move away from a more conservative, executive, luxury look compared to the new sporty aggressive persona. I always imagined Acura to be that side of the import industry.
I just think that the current LS is much more classy, than this mean looking one. Unless a 60 year old man wants to feel young looking, I think this car will scare most retirees ****less.
Lexus should keep this sporty look to the IS. As soon as I saw the "F Sport" packages coming to other models I new it was going to go downhill.
However, I understand their competition...Audi, BMW, etc. They want, and need to compete in the track/performance industry...Just wish it didn't have to apply to every model, even if somewhat an option/package. The only new model that doesn't pull it off is the one that should, the GS. The ES just looks cleaner, less bloated.
Happy to see a more cosmetic facelift, than a rediculous new design. Those saying it looks like the old Audi flagship...GOOD.
Other brands are moving TOO FAST with their designs.
I'm already in love with that tractor beam straight window line ________
