Default New generation LS

How long before a company comes out with the new front grill, bumper and lights all in 1 kit. If they have not done so already.........anyone know?

I am not impressed by the new LS. I got into one the other day and to me it looks less of a limousine type of car inside & out then the previous gen. it's too sporty and for the lack of a better word not imposing enough for the flagship car the the LS has been known for until now...

I don't like the grill, the back is a bit too raised and the interior center console is just ugly with those vents under the GPS and the horizontal design lines rather then a solid vertical unit type of center console in the previous gen.

I know it's a bit offtopic from the OP but personally think they went the wrong route and the new LS is more like a GS on steroids

I'd be willing to bet that on a year or two that grotesque grill will be substantially softened in design.

The new designs are selling well, BUT i completely agree with you. Seems like people either like or absolutely hate the new grill. If the next RX has a spindle grill, I will end up trading our GLK350 for a BMW X3. The only other lexus I would consider is a pre-spindle LS600hL.

I like the new front end, I doubt it will change much.
