I have extrapolated the appearance of 2 of the 3 silhouettes:
Thanks, but that's no new news is it? We've seen a real pic of the GS450h already and the LF-A is a year old.

sure doesn't seem like it... the closer the opening gets the less exciting these premiers seem to be.

For the Japanese market, it's a new thing with the GS 450h being shown, and the 'production' version of the LF-A ("SSC"?)

The big deal for me is the 'Flagship Luxury Sedan" ...LS!!!

Maybe the 3rd and biggest silhouette is the big deal here...so far Lexus @ autoshows has made generally 1 BIG attraction reveal at a time.

This car looks hot hot hotter than ever. I hope they stick with the styling here and don't change much when it goes into production from this concept.

you've probably seen these pics already...claimed to be spy shot of the new LS460 in the bottom pic, this top one is a rendering I believe.

the one on the left is a test mule for something of the upcoming LS, it has being caught also lapping around the 'ring', notice the gap on the grill/bumper, rear fenders, bigge wheels <i dig the wheels > and tape on key places

Thumbs up Tokyo Auto Show--LEXUS LF-Sh (Future LS)!!!

From here: http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article.../109809/?ST=AT Thanks to LEXUS FAN! for pointing out the carspyshots forum, which I obtained that link from.

Edit: I posted a modified pic here, the exact same pic but in silver https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...92#post1540192
I also made a 'stretch' of the aft cabin, presumably for the LS 460L...if anyone wants to see that.

Very cool!!!!!!!!

I really wasn't sure of the direction they would take, but that looks very appropriate for the direction Lexus wants to go.

Hope the headlights stay and I absolutely love the wheels!!!!!

Wow...I'm pretty much stunned. This car is extremely handsome, aggressive, and upscale all at the same time. I'm extremely pleased. It looks like those first pictures were quite accurate
