All New Lexus LS 500
Three plus years in my 2009 600 as well. I was hoping for 550+ HP in a new model 600, but this is just sad. I too will be sticking with my 600 for a few more years as the smoothness and train like linear power in the car is really quite fantastic when in power mode 
I am not sure who this new car will appeal to. Will existing V8 LS460 buyers want to get one of these? I can't imagine any 600 owner being happy with the power downgrade here. The NVH of the current 2016-2017 non V8 engines isn't that great either and I think is a downgrade from earlier years, so I don't think this V6 will be any better. The car inside is just a bit weird too - the lower B pillar is now huge, the rear doors like like they have shrunk for an L, the door 'unlock' button sticking up is retro and looks cheap, the mousepad thing is annoying and those ears on the dash cluster...
I'm sticking with my 600!
