Does anyone know when the new LS will be available?

 

It will debut in August, 2012 in Japan as 2013 model with a 5 liter V8. Don't know how accurate the rendering is, but it looks like a Acura TL and kind of small:

Thanks, I've seen that picture, but it doesn't look real. It looks too small in my opinion...

 

Does look small. Really can't tell much from the drawing.

 

Also looks un-Lexus LS like. Maybe if the rear was stretched 6-8 inches, it might work.

 

Does anyone know when the new LS will be available?

They should be hitting showrooms in the Aug/Sept timeframe.

 

i really hope they come out with a show stopper :P

 

My Lexus dealer tells me the 2013 LS will debut on Oct. 12, 2013

 

That'll be about the time I might be ready to trade in my LS600hL, so I'll be sure to check it out.

That's one problem I've had with LS's (this is my 3rd). They give you absolutely no reason to trade it in, no rattles, no squeaks, no problems, just year after year of comfort and reliability, with the occational scheduled servicing. After 70,000 miles, my original brakes are still at 50%!

I've been looking for a smaller car, and the Audi A6 seems to have almost all of the features that my LS has (no soft-close doors, no air suspension). Maybe it's voice recognition system would actually understand my words!

I need to test drive one to see how quiet and smooth it is. As to reliability, well I can only hope to equal Lexus......

MUST have AWD here in Maine.

HOPE it looks like that pic!

if so, zero need/want for new car!

 

its probably gonna have the same look as the gs i really dont like that look it doesnt look sporty or luxury it looks ricey to me

 

The Audi A6 is a fine looking car. But man are you and your dealer's service manager gonna get to know each other.

 

Actually, i just traded my 5th audi in a row on the 460. I was looking for a different experience.I am older and want plush ride.
I had almost zero repairs, just normal service....and the range included S4, TT , A8 etc....no real problems. They are nice cars....just different than the 460. More road feel....more road noise.To me, a more involving drivers car.
I have not had the 460 long enough to form an opinion on service and reliability....but did buy it based on reputation.So far it meets expectations. I hope the 460 serves me as well.

Right, but is it gonna have that big screen?
