I think the new LS is going to be pretty bad ***. I'm not a big fan of the front grill but it's not the worst thing in the world. The new 10 speed transmission sounds very nice and a 4.5 second to 60 sprint is impressive. Does not look like the leather is much of an difference. The engine and transmission seem to be the biggest upgrade. The headlights seem to have a Z for Zoro look.
It is a torque-converter automatic, yet with shift times that rival those of dual-clutch transmissions. The wide bandwidth afforded by ten closely spaced ratios is ideal for all forms of driving, helping to provide an optimal gear for all conditions.
Shifting via paddles is available, yet many will prefer the advanced electronic control system, which anticipates the driver’s input. The system chooses the ideal ratio by monitoring the acceleration, braking and lateral-g forces.
For starting acceleration, the close ratios of the low gears and the shortened shift time enable a rhythmical and exhilarating acceleration feel. The high torque of the twin-turbo engine matches ideally with the higher gear ratios for effortless, serene highway cruising, yet very quick downshifts yield direct acceleration with no lag in G response.

YES!!!! This is at the top of my list for my next daily driver. The Tesla Model S is also high up there but I like the aggressive looks of the new LS500 much better. This thing is going to be a beast!
