This is clearly a prototype for the next-generation Lexus LS.

Just read an article that said this hoverboard SLIDE ad campaign is the precursor to a new model.

Hoovey, is that true?

they need to focus more om marketing their unknown F cars and designing a new LS that is actually new and doesnt look like the last one from 07. Oh yeah a new V6 and some TTs on the motors would be great too. This is ridiculous

Default Hoverboard track discovered in Spain

Looks like they've been building a track for about a month. Apparently, this is really going to happen...
