Looks interesting, I'd have to see more pics of it to fully develope an opinion on it. Sporty.

the computarized prediction of what it may look like, reminds me too much of an '06 IS, and i don't think that lexus' flagship should resemble one of its less expensive models, it should have a look of it's own specially for it being the flagship of the brand

what's with the general trend lately of cars seeming to get taller and shorter?

i think long and sleek should be the trend for regal looks

photos from the site that's linked....i didn't want to screw it up for 56kers..and i didn't link directly because i'm lazy, so if you want bigger pics, go to the site

Loks like all they did was put the body of the current LS on the new platform so they can contiue to hide it fairly well. You can tell the fenders have been cut out but aht is about it from the pictures.

The bottom one is only a photoshop, so no real photos yet.

the photoshop looks like a bigger GS with different headlights design..hopefully lexus will come out something diff for its flagship

agreed, the first gen LS400 still exudes luxury

I think the PS one was a concept photo that was just floating around. I think the article was talking about the two LSs next to each other. The one on the left is the 460.

It should fit in with the new L-Finesse theme, so I'd expect it to look similar to the Lexus lineup (like you can tell it's a Lexus), but definitely distinct. The LF-A looks like a Lexus, but it has a distinctive shape apart from the rest. I believe the LS460/LS600h will achieve that goal as well.

situman · 09-28-2005, 10:38 AM

making it look so much like the IS would be stretching that "L-Finesse" thing a little too far. Besides the headlights look like a current getn camry's.

That so damn ugly for a LS. Man, if Lexus Designers go with that crappy design, then damN! They're one lazy ass guys. The design is fine on the GS and the IS, but the LS needs a seperate design that'll pull away from the other lineups. Yes, I know Lexus are going towards that design mark, but at least put in some more effort into actually making it look like more of a flagship instead of a carry-over from it's lower models. That's the only reason why I like the current design on the Gen 3.5 (2004-2006)

And if you guys say if I could design a better car, bring it because I will.
