hey everyone,

i found this on popular mechanics website.
makes sense to me.

2005 Lexus LS 450

Lexus is readying an all-new flagship. Our spies have seen a computer-generated rendering they say is very close to what we'll see in showrooms in late 2004. The new model will likely be powered by a 4.6-liter V8 that's an updated version of the current 4.3-liter and is said to make close to 360 hp. It will be paired to an all-new 6-speed automatic but still drive the rear wheels. Rumors are swirling that the new LS will, for the first time, have a larger optional engine--possibly an all-new V12 producing well over 400 hp. Other sources hint the optional engine will be a 5.5-liter V8 worth about 400 hp. You can expect a sport package with a semiactive suspension system and 19-in. tires to be on the options list.

 

Since it's one the web, would you please post a link to it? It otherwise sounds too much like a randomly made-up rumor to me, not to mention that Lexus has never refreshed a car in consecutive years.
Thanks.

Edit: Okay, I've found the link. Still I believe it's just a pure made-up story.
