Next LS is concept LF-S (Lexus Future Sedan)?
The LF-S concept appears to be the closest in design to those seen in "spy photos". Could this be the real future of the LS, or more likely closer to the next GS?

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) plans to exhibit two Lexus concept cars at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show (general public days: Oct. 25 - Nov. 5) in Makuhari, Chiba. Lexus is Toyota's world premium brand.
Toyota established Lexus in North America in 1989 with the brand concept of pursuing perfection in product as well as in sales and service. Lexus then expanded into Europe and other regions, earning high acclaim as a premium brand that delivers high satisfaction in response to user values.
Looking ahead to the August 2005 launch of the Lexus brand in Japan together with a nationwide dealership network, Toyota's two Lexus concept cars to be exhibited at this year's Tokyo Motor Show are realizations of a quest for the essence of luxury in every detail. They seek to provide a peak experience that satisfies the heart with exhilaration and comfort at every moment, while understanding and anticipating each individual user's constantly changing needs. These two cars are the LF-S, a next-generation sedan that expresses the Lexus brand's new conception of luxury, and the LF-X, an SUV-sports sedan crossover.

Roof and Side Mirrors
One heck of a sun roof. Wonder if they will have 3M electric glass to frost and a motorized interior cover. Also love those funky side mirrors.

I like how the glass extends from the wind shield to the rear. Looks slippery.
However, it's hard not to think of the size of the front emblem as somehow a design copy (or at least an inspiration) from the Mercedes coupes, as for years they have been the only cars that put such sizable emblems on the grille.
The rear end definitely needs some major rework, but overall it's a big

Is it just me, or are the bumpers/fenders/skirts all 1 piece? It would suck if you had one of those and got into an accident. Then again is this just a concept of the new GS?

I really like the overall look of the LF-S. The front and profile of the car look amazing, the back looks weird though. The production version will be toned down, but I hope Lexus uses the overall lines of this concept on the new GS. I thinks its a very nice sleek, clean design and the car looks powerful as well. From the looks of this concept, u can probably fit 22in rims on the new GS.

Is it me or does the car look like a hybrid Acura TL-S-Cadillac 300, RX-8 headlights, BMW 7-series wheels, and 350Z tailights? Even the rear pillars look like the one of the G35 sedan. Hey panoramic roof from the Benz line-up.
