Hmm I really should have paid attention in Spanish class... The whole ECVT-i sounds weird. I can't see Lexus putting a CVT in one of their best handling cars. In the hybrid, maybe.

Thanks for sharing!!

If the below translation is accurate and it's coming to the US, it might be a deal breaker for me

Transmission: automatic gearbox Variable electronically multimode continuous 8-speed intelligence (ecvt-i), with shift paddles on the steering wheel.

Is be absolutely shocked if it had a CVT. Anyways a CVT doesn't have 8 speeds...or 5...or 6.

As for euro sec saddle leather, I believe that's just Flaxen.

Do you have a link or a picture? Just because they call it saddle in Europe doesn't mean it's a different color.

Just did a little research and I'll be damned, there is a saddle color in other markets. I stand corrected.

Is it a different color? I have seen leather they call saddle that is darker brown than Flaxen, lik ean old, oiled, baseball glove color.

Saddle is a richer color then Flaxen, would love to get one here.

Wow. Makes flaxen look washed out. Older LSs (LS400 I believe) over here had it as an option. I wonder why they swapped it for flaxen in the first place.
