A press conference is scheduled for 5 PM GMT, I believe, on Sept 28 in Paris.

Wow!! Looks great in white too. It kinda looks sporty.

Still amazed at the technology of the drivetrain.

i think the car looks pretty nice in white as well, but black still gets my vote

Black Opal is still THE color to get.

Now let's see some trunk space shots.

You should be in a rocking chair & not driving by then This new LS with it's improved looks should be suitable for any middle age person who cares for his family - your kids will love the RSES & the rest of the fancy gadgets - NOW is the time

Nah, I am going to very much active and kicking then - will still be driving.

I always get weird looks when someone knows how old I am and then sits in my car and can't believe how hard the car rides and wonders why it does not bother me, but I actually love the hard edged Tein Flex induced ride.

All I see is tons of gray hair in my mind when I think of an LS.

My kids just need a PS2 and an LCD to be happy in the back.

I know you prefer a driver's car & don't mind the harsher ride, & it's good your family don't mind. I don't really have a family yet, but my mother won't ride in my G35 coupe because the seats are too hard & ride not comfortable enough for her, she always wants the Lexus when I take her out.

At least where I am, I don't see too many grey hair men driving the LS430, most of them I saw were middle-aged men & women

Tell her you sold the Lexus, then she will have to ride in your G35!

Looks like the European market will get the foldable front passenger headrest. This allows for better visibility for the rear Ottoman seated person.
