I agree with you here. I have a 07 GS350 and I have ZERO urge for the 4GS. I really like the LS460 but this " face lifted" version doesn't have me wanting to rush to a Lexus dealership neither.
The newer technology may be nice but the styling and performance i want is not to my liking.

Yes, rear and front turn signals are LED as an option.

I like the new 2013 LS. I really like the look of my 2007 but I like the new technology of the 2013. I will definitely look into the 2013 when it comes to my local dealer. It would have been cool to at least put in the ISF 5.0 in the F Sport.

So the F sport has three projectors on each headlight, and standard only has two? Is the headlights led too, or still hid?

the regular LS, LSL, and LS Sport all have an option for LED headlights which creates the three bulb setup; two low beam, one high beam. The regular HID headlights are true bi-xenon which means one hid low beam, one hid high beam

The LS is HID, the LSh has LED standard for turn, front and high beam as well as smart beam.

I like the front of the F-Sport however overall I'm disappointed. For a flagship car I would except more features especially from an interior perspective. A friend of mine has a new Audi A8 and I love the interior and features of that car. At least for me there is no rush to go out and get one of these. I was looking for a whole new body style.

Looks like the good ol' 2007 will be kept around for a while. Maybe now I'll go ahead and splurge for that body kit I've been putting off in hopes for the 2013.

why does the gear shifter make the LS feels like a Camry? Overall, I like the interior but that shifter has to go.

So just like the 7/A8, the all LED headlights is an option on every trim then. Wonder how much it will cost.

If I understand correctly, opting for the LED headlight package means that every thing illuminated comes from LED's, interior lights as well.

from the launch video, I also remember them saying that every illumination on the vehicle can be LED except for one or two bulbs. But I thought LEDs dont fade in and out, and doesnt interior (even the button backlighting) illumination generally fade?
