Hey folks, just thought I'd share some news with you. New design for the 2005 LS and new engine size mentioned as well as a supercharged celsior (dubbed CelsioGT)

WHY DOES LEX ALWAYS COPY OTHER CARS. CAN'T START THEIR OWN TREND.

LOKKS LIKE AUDI 86 AND BMW 745

 

i seriously doupt that lexus would make the LS look like that. most LS byers are above 45 years old and most people would like a car that looks executive not sporty & muscular.

 

Damn Brendan, is that your site? Where do you get your info?

One of the other news sites I check, autospies.com gave YOU props.

Don't care for the new look. It makes the LS look even more common. Prefer the design of my 03, it's classy and elegant, very stately. For better or worse that's what I like.
Yes I'm over 45.

Yeah, it is Thanks!! Autospies actually used our previous news-bit on the other proposed LS design.

One of the guys we hired has really good contacts in Japan.

 

Sweet dude, keep up the great work!

 

Thanks bro!!

Problem though that I have noticed about having a site that gives out "concept and design" information is that there are always many different design "renditions" .... and sometimes people will give you a lot of crap about it -- All we're trying to do is give out the <b>latest</b> information and possibilities.

 

I'm pretty confused because most theories seem to have Lexus doing a refresh of some sort in 2004, and a next-generation LS in either 2006 or 2007. This is the first I've heard that 2005 will incorporate changes.

 

I like the '05 LS design.

 

There will likely be a facelift for 2004 model this fall, with the redesigned next generation model coming out as a 2006 model in fall 2005, or a 2007 model comig out some time in 2006.

 

1.) I don't believe that's the actual picture and I would doubt a blown version would be produced.
2.) If that picture is representative of what the new LS will look like, SHAME ON LEXUS. It looks like a damn-near carbon copy of the upcoming A8. Get an original design for God's sake...

 

Better to stick with looking like Mercedes rather than Audi/Volkswagen. Right?

 

just curious, but what would each of your alls perfect LS be?

 

is it just me, or does nobody notice that we've all seen this pic and commented on its similarities to the a8? it seems that one person posts a pic of a new ls, then as soon as autospies or autofiend posts it days after we've seen it, someone else posts it and then its like brand new to everyone. not to offend you brandon, but it seems like this happens everytime with every new pic we get. i was just making sure i wasnt the only one to see this pic 2 or 3 times already...
