Based on past experience, I don't think we will see any accurate rendering until right before the official launch of the vehicle. Perhaps Januarury 2006 in Detroit??

personally i would really love to see the ls600h making its way to the market and go straight head to head with the s600 and the 760il. a better car and you get a lot more miles as well. i can already imgine what the tv commercial is going to look like 
it's only 1 1/2 yr away, i can wait
it's only 1 1/2 yr away, i can wait

This is what I truly been waiting for, and the one and only reason why I didn't get the A8L last summer. If I like the body style its backed to getting talked about for having three of the same make.

but that might be a good thing. take a look at the new LS next yr and see if it's good, then see if the extra wait is worth it

Ya... I know... bad joke

I also thought you replaced it with the A8
Didn't want to go OT too much
It's about time that the LS will have the long wheelbase
Sorry to say but it makes more "worthy" to compete with the big boys now: S-class, 7 series, and the A8.
