It's so trippy! In a good way. I'm in awe of the all the gadgets and gizmos from the video.

I like how they used the LF-CC at 1:44 mark of the 2nd video.

what's suprising to me is that the newer current models seem to embrace sharp lines and 'chunkiness' and this concept has none of that, being very fluid and curvy.

^^^Just like how the ES front is softer, reserved for luxury than sporty.

WOW:
From the youtube video, so new LS has :

1. Fuel Cell
2. Self Parking
3. Hologram joystick
4. Talks to other (lexus?) car
5. Automated driving

Feel free to add to the list


I wonder what kind of suspension will it have?

The hologram joystick is a nice touch. Let's see if it actually does make it in the 2017 model or if it be later on, in say the 2024 LS. I am surprised no one talked about the internal monitor on the right hand side being used as the external mirror Plus the solar panel roof is a nice touch. I wonder if it be similar to the Maybach?

The extra 4 inches is great! I think it will still be shorter than the MB S-Class Maybach, Rolls Royce Ghost and Bentley.

a design is only good when the WHOLE car looks good. Not just the front.

The rear half of the car looks odd when taking the whole car into consideration.
The backglass is too curved and makes it look hunchback. It gives that quattroporte vibe, which I don't like.


Something less hunchback. nomsayin?------

Default Next Lexus LS To Arrive As 2017 Model

That's what they said they were going for though, more Panamara and XJ and the short deck lid is a part of that look.

I am pleasantly surprised. This car is gorgeous! I am so glad it looks nothing like that hideous rendering posted a few days ago.

My thought was that FC stands for Fuel Cell.

I think the upcoming LC will look a lot like the new LS.
