Great car, great color combo.

In summary, the way I see it is that you'll get:
- A new car with a fresh smell and zero miles on the engine
- A reset on the warranty expiry countdown
- The facelift that was done on the LS460 '10+ (slight changes on the exterior/interior design)
- The cumulative experience Lexus has gained in the past 5 years so you'll skip all those annoying little things that take you back to the dealer every once in a while

What you may have missed:
- None

The release year of the all-new LS is being debated whether it's next year or the year after and nothing is confirmed. So please just enjoy the new car and don't forget to post pictures.

We wouldn't mind a ride so we could get a sense of what 2012 feels like xD

WHEW!!! Ok, gotcha.. Also, I thought about this earlier, unless you took immaculate care of the LS you have now, you should get better gas mileage from the new engine if it is broken in properly. Like someone else said earlier, I hope you enjoy the new LS. OBTW, where are the pics??

i had to trade my 2007 in right away in order to get the most $ on it.they tell me the 2012 will be in around late october or early nov.my 2007 gave me about 18-19 in the city.how can they list on the window that it is 16-23.that means i'll be getting less mileage.i know because it's awd i lose about 1mpg but to get around in our winters with the snow and sleet the awd should be a very welcome addition.how do you suggest in breaking it in? i normally don't push it over 60mph for the first 500 mi.i alternate speeds and don't keep a constant,so the engine gets used to the varying speeds. thanks for the info. mrrbw
