Reminds of this car that we love to talk about so much - specifically the long hood 😁

Yes both IS & LS are going to continue 👍

Lexus has lost their minds. What an absurd presentation. Looks like a set of cheap Matchbox knockoffs. Especially that idiotic looking lunchbox on wheels in the back right. lol

I had posted a link to an article from Lexus enthusiast earlier which says that one of the vehicles shown in the recent press conference is the new LS. I have found Lexus enthusiast usually a good source of Lexus related news. Of course we won’t know for sure until we hear it from Lexus directly.

Isn't that car you're referring to a Toyota? The Lexus models presented looked great imho.

From track record, Lexusenthusiast has been very accurate in their analyses and predictions. No offence but I'll take his/her hot take more seriously than most people's on this message thread.

Phew, for a moment, I thought I might have to jump ship to a Tesla or a Kia Stinger for my next reliable sports sedan!

Nothing they posted confirms any existence of an LS. All it is is a pre-render that Toyota themselves later updated to include a newer version of the same design, which ended up being the IS-sized vehicle. What's funny is that literally the first comment to the article mentions this.

Spreading misinformation benefits nobody, and we've had more than enough fake news for Toyota and Lexus already.

In the four photos below, they may have a point with the silver sedan a full size LS, while the dark gray sedan a midsize GS?

Look at center left:


Full size LS?



Look at rear right:


Midsize GS ?

It's like I'm talking to air. I've already addressed what that car is but I suppose this kind of wish fulfillment nonsense like the TTV8 and "GS revival" will always be alive no matter how many times it gets shot down.

Full size LS?
No, it's a rough render of the IS-sized EV. See below for the completed render where it's updated with a more finalized model. Again, I already mentioned this twice.



Midsize GS ?
That's the new ES- should be obvious from the long front overhang and short dash-axle ratio.

It's literally a wagon version of this.
