New Lexus flagship to debut at Detroit show

Toyota engineers are testing prototypes of the next-generation Lexus LS flagship sedan. The redesigned LS 460, which debuts next fall, will make its formal debut in January at the Detroit show. It gets all-new sheet metal and a revised cabin. It is expected to be powered by a larger engine, a twin-cam 4.6-liter V-8.

The next LS is longer, wider and will ride on larger wheels. To help offset the negatives of the larger size, Lexus also plans to offer a new hybrid variant, which may be called LS 600h.

While the base LS will continue to ride on a rear-wheel-drive platform, Lexus may offer all-wheel drive as an option for the first time. :thumbsup:

I really loved the ls 400,Its exterior and interior, I just wish it came with that blue interior light from the 430. Lexus just makes amazing luxury sedans, they shouldnt disappoint.

What choice did they have? After the 430 got bumped down to what, 260hp with readjusting HP ratings? The current LS430 looks like a Deville and an Acura RL had an ugly child. I hope this one is cleaner, sleeker, and more commanding like the original LS.

They should've gone for the understated class look but the front valence and headlights ruin that, and it's not edgy enough to be a flashy car.
