I heard the 2013 LS will be in showrooms in September. Is that true? If not then when will it be released?

"I heard the 2013 LS will be in showrooms in September. Is that true? If not then when will it be released?"

My understanding from the meeting I attended, production will begin mid-late September with arrivals realistically beginning in November.

It would be nice if the navigation filled up all 12.3" diagonal of that screen. So far it only uses 2/3rds of the real estate, the standard with of the nav maps.

The dealer manager told me to expect the car in October from his info as of Friday. So Oct-Nov sounds about right. Bummer because about 2mo ago they told me it would likely be mid-Sept. Ah well. I guess I can wait another month...

I wonder if tomorrow they will actually say WHEN it's coming. Also would like to know about custom preorders. Hopefully they will be more specific.

You don't know that, for all we know, the LS could get new chassis parts, new engines, etc.

We are excited

Everyone in the office loves it so far especially the super pissed off looking F-Sport front end.
