Although that looks damn sexy, I'm almost thinking that the current GS's nav system will be more user-friendly as the on-screen buttons are bigger. Touchscreens don't always line up correctly

few things:
- are you sure nav is simply not new graphics? :-)
- interior closeups show high quality materials everywhere. Amazing-
- tach/speed indicators seem interesting?

This car simply looks amazing. Lexus is on the roll. I really would not know to decide between RX400h, GS300 or IS220d and thats when just 7 months ago I would not buy any Lexus vehicle for sure...

How could all this stuff be released by Autospies first? Obviously they have released this without Lexus permission, otherwise Lexus would have released all this stuff already on their website.

Some of these diagrams are not even on their full color brochures, I think this was Lexus info only but leaked to the public. Of course nothing secretive but still Lexus info none the less.

That would actually suit the Japanese spirit of Kamikaze a lot better.

I am definately getting one!!!!!!

I really hope every single auto magazine and website review still make a stupid point to say how the BMW 3 series is still a better car. My only fear with the current crop of Lexus products is that they may become too popular. I like driving my LS in the sea of Mercedes and BMWs here in the San Diego area. Different is good!

No, it's been documented that the IS will have a new 32k color screen. Dang it, I wish it would have been ready for the 3rd gen GS launch.

They've got a smoked appearance to them, it's more visible on certain exterior colors than others.

Is this Black Onyx or Smoky Granite? I thought there was gonna be a black metallic?

Is there any pics of the rear in either of these colors?? I wanna see what the rear bumper looks like in a darker color.

I too hope we get some real good shots of the rear end in black. The photos of the light colored cars don't do the rear end justice. From the spy shots the other day the rear end looked terrible in my opinion.

Here is the only pic I could find of the rear in smokey granite or black. Not the best pic.




Someone was mentionng that the headlights seemed dark, this one doesn't show that. Are these Xenon?
