It will be another 1.5 years. I asked a friend of mine who is a GM at a large dealership when I was there on Friday. The new GS will be out in the Spring is what he told me. They have a lot of new vehicles coming out in the next couple of years.

1st gen Sept,1989 (NA sales) as 1990 model year
2nd gen late 1994 as 1995 model year
3rd gen Oct, 2000 (NA sales) as 2001 model year
4th gen late 2006 as 2007 model year

If Lexus follows the same schedule as the last three generations then one would expect a 5th generation late 2012 introduction as a 2013 model year.

I found this picture on the web.........quote from the article:
All-new spicy Lexus LS coming in 2013!!!
Lexus seems to be very busy developing its new lineup, since the LS will be also replaced with a new model in 2013. The current model is a really good car, but it lacks character in my opinion. Well, this may be about to change judging by this rendering. So, BC claims that the all-new LS 600h, which will continue to be the top of the line version, will be powered by a 5.0L V8 engine delivering 400 ps and 55.0 kgm of torque. Oh, then we've got the electric motor! Fuel efficiency should be around 15.0 km/L, which doesn't seem a lot at first glance, but we are talking about a big car.

I was told by the Service Manager at my local Lexus dealer that the new LS would be unveiled this fall. He said the GS was coming first, then the ES, and then the LS. So far, he's been correct, so we shall see.
