wow the video is impressive. what a car. still a bit unsure about the steering wheel and the dash, and the rear still looks weak to me (taillights look small), but overall, what a car

Damn lots of high-tech goodies.

What sold me the most however was that the LED Ambient Lighting is multi-colored.

HOT DAMN

Seriously check out the Magic Body Control. You can see it lift up the body in anticipation of a bump at 0:22:

Lexus better have some pretty big plans for the next LS. I mean this S-class cant be beat if all we were to see is the video. Now, real world testing will be the deciding factor on how well this tech works for folks. I really like that active body control stuff. This should've been done by Lexus first since ride quality is on top of their list. With the absence of Maybach, the new S is sorta filling both the roles as luxury and ultra-luxury saloons. LS600hl is no longer making a statement for Lexus anymore imo. The bar has been raised and set very high now and i really hope and believe Lexus has something brewing concerning the next LS in their stable.

A brilliant machine!
Funny that in the video all the cars giving the guy trouble are Toyotas.

to be honest though, after owning all brands, i think germans know how to push the envelope on technology and got the latest and greatest in the car. but japanese know how to make them more reliable, less glitchy, and easier to use

the ballet dance with all the mercedes cars at the end of the live reveal gave me goosebumps. Makes me proud to own a Mercedes.

Its an amazing blend of S/CLS/CLA but it works. This is STOCK, imagine an AMG and/or lowered with 22s. They really raised the bar here to me.
