Default Next Lexus LS and IS pics...

Taken from "best car" magazine...

LS:


IS:


Just concept drawings, but they'll probably be quite accurate, especially the IS (IMO).

Err . . . No, for me anyway

Besides, one can always find a hint of another car's design in just about any car model if you look hard enough.

Not bad, but I hope they'll look better than that.

The LS pic looks like a nice evolution, but I think that IS looks exceptionally badass. Just drawings though...

Thumbs up

Yes, that LS looks like a nice mix of Toyota and BM-quarter-to-8.

Hopefully it'll look like that. Thinking back, that first terrible Photoshop of the "next" GS turned out to be quite accurate.

I am skeptical that Lexus would leak out so much information about these cars this early. Btw, I think it says something about '08/06' - August 2006?? at the lower corner of the LS pic. I also see "GT" at the upper corner of that pic- LS500GT?

Is it me, or the first LS picture look exactly like the 2006 GS with a different front end. It looks like a photochop. That pic of the IS is def. badass.

LOL, not quite. It's slang for 745. You know, a "quarter to 8" is 7:45. I've been listening to too much rap, I guess.

I think that LS concept drawing looks WAY better than that 745.
