Thumbs up Official Toyko Auto show aka the Lexus TAKEOVER Thread (all pics, info, etc here)

Alright guys, this is going to be a great show. The competition has a couple cars coming but the Lexus stand will be AWESOME.
Production
NEW GS
NEW GS
LEXUS GS 450h
Restyled SC 430
and LEXUS at this show, no more Toyota badged cars

Concept
LF-A
the next generation LS

Plus the usual stellar Lexus lineup.

We've seen all these cars in pics EXCEPT the LS, so much like the GS concept a couple years ago, L-finesse, we should see something similar for the LS. The LS is THE Lexus, the flagship, BIG POPPA. A very exciting time for us.

Can someone post the lil preview pic of the LS headlights?

2005 Tokyo Motor Show

It seems as if the LS is going back to its roots..when the first one came out, it had the hi/lo beams and fogs within the headlight housing i believe.. kinda like the supra

Remember the LS is just a concept. Some of the details will probably look different from the production version.

Once all new Toyota and Lexus models have been released @ the Tokyo Auto Show, this will set the bar that much higher and it will simply change everything about Luxury and Luxury technology. As for the rivals around the world,...... well back to the drawing board , sweat some more , curse some more , and spend million$$$ more!!!

The way Lexus is advertising the new LS reminds me of what they did with the intro of the SC400 back in 1992. All they would show for months and months was the driver's side headlight. The SC was pretty revolutionary styling so you know how important the new LS is supposed to be... Looks like a very fun year ahead for us CL guys...

The middle silhouette appears to be a GS (450h?)

I think so...

The left one has those conceptual tiny rear-view mirrors but seem to be a bit too bulky to be the new LS. Any thoughts of what it is?

Damn teasers...

EDIT: On a second thought, the LS is a large car. It's supposed to be bulky I guess. So it could be the new LS after all.

I have taken a 'time lapse' LOL shot and I think the left picture is the LF-A....facing the GS head on.
