I see potential for a limited run of 'Louisville Slugger' editions

I think it looks great. I like how they're kind of found a happy medium between the stand up nav screen and an integrated nav screen...

Nice find 👍. Wonder if they still keep the GX and give it some of this treatment.

Looks great. Those taillights are killer. Very mean, sleek, and classy.

If it actually ends up looking like this..... that's amazing.
I am quite shocked this is just a "facelift". It really looks completely different inside and out.

Finally! That transmission man .. from revolution in auto industry to still not being available across the line up almost a decade later.
Anyway this will be a proper Lexus flagship until new LS arrives. Love the RR rims btw. If RR does something right its the wheel design.
If this car had turbo 4-cylinder PHEV option I would be first in the line to drop the deposit.

8-Speed alright!
Maybe it'll net them an extra mpg across the board

I have a good feeling we are going to see a change to the power train. My guess is a 5.0 litre Atkinson
