seems like it.

 

Arm rest actually slides back to reveal two additional buttons just like the current gen. They carried over the best little detail on 3GS.

 

the ejection button is for the bolsters

i can't remember about my ls460 anymore, but i think it has 2 level of seat back support. wonder if that's true and if they have it here

 

 

still can't tell much about rear cabin space

 

It doesn't look any larger than the 3GS, or this guy could be like 6'7 lol.

 

The piano black looks highly scratchable...

 

i am giving lexus benefit of the doubt here. they supposedly looked at the rear cabin space and made improvement. i don't expect ls460 space of course, but i do miss my gs400 space very much

i wonder if they are piano black panels or just black plastic like the shift plate area on 06-07 gs. if that's the case, yes, they get scratches very easily. i see them all the time on client cars

 

The difference in the quality of the leather can be seen in these two pictures. The GS leather just seems so much more substantial and thicker than the 5-series leather.

 

judging by the high-res pics it looks like mark levinson is here to stay!

 

Dude, they are making a new diesel? They are SERIOUS!!! Wow wasn't aware 60% of sales are 4 cylinder diesels in that segment. I knew it was a lot but not that many.

And thanks for the zoom on the seats. THEY LISTENED TO ME Looks like you can extend the seat cushions finally! My LONG LEGS GET SOME LOVE!!

 

There are a lot of scenarios that could play out. But the bread and butter car is always going to be a 350 - so let's hope they get it right. Personally, I'd like to see the 350 with about 325 hp and the eight speed automatic and a sport suspension package at a reasonable price (not like the price on the LS).

My lease has about 16 months left on it, and they can put me in another one if the price stays close and it has a few evolutionary upgrades. The "F" would be a "halo" car for the market - but it would not likely steal many sales from the hot Mercedes and BMW's. Just like you don't see many IS-F's around.

 

What other option would Lexus have?

We have what, 3 weeks or so before they reveal it to the world?!

 

We have exactly 2 weeks!

 

blind spot monitor is not available on any lexus at the moment
