Kevin,   We really appreciate you sharing these details with us. One question I have is how many V8s are in Lexus' future. Are the IS and LS600h going to get a larger (the rumored 5.0L V8) than the GS460 and LS460?   Thanks again for taking the time to talk to us.
#321 of 3321 Thanks, Kevin by oac Jun 16, 2005 (11:05 pm)
So what is the difference between the picture that Mr. oac has seen from Carmode magazine and the recent sketches from these two photographers? I can tell you what Mr. oac has seen in Carmode magazine was actually a copy from one of the sketches drawn from our chief designer from the Lexus LS project...   WOW !!!   Now I must post that sketch for all to see it. Does anyone want to volunteer to host the pic so that I can send them the scanned pic ? Note that this may be the first real sketch of the next LS on Edmund's....I'd be happy to get this posted here somehow, so if I get any takers we'll do it.... That sketch of the new LS is a real *looker* and a real beauty for a Lexus, and should generate a lot of positive reactions from Lexus fans, and a new found respect from its detractors, IMO....   Many thanks, Kevin, for your time to get these info to us. We do indeed appreciate your efforts. When you do have the time, and can spare a few more info for us, pls do not hesitate to do so.   Take care

#324 of 3321 Wow! by chris65amg Jun 17, 2005 (10:18 am)
Some of that technological stuff sounds really cool. So the LS will weigh less than 2 tons? Hm. Might end up lighter than an Eclipse! (There's my bad joke for today)   And a 7-speed? Sound's like they're taking aim at MB, and in a good way.   Overall, I am in total approval of the next LS.   Kevin, thank you so much for all of the info.

Replying to: nexuslexus (Jun 17, 2005 5:54 am) Check your mailbox. I sent you a scanned pic of the LS600h sketch as shown in the *SCOOP* section of the July 2005 CARTOP mag in Japan.   Looking forward to seeing it posted to this forum.
#326 of 3321 Hope Lexus produces a "Base" model by mfpr Jun 17, 2005 (1:27 pm)
I can appreciate Lexus wanting to design the '07 LS with a lot of high tech equipment to showcase their flagship. However, Lexus has provided, in current and past models, the ability to choose your options, depending on the equipment desired and the willingness (or ability) to pay the price. All LS models, regardless of equipment levels, have been great values with high standard equipment content and prices starting about the same as BMW 545i's and MB E500's. I hope that Lexus does not abandon this pricing strategy with the '07 LS and force me to settle for a less desirable choice.
#327 of 3321 PICTURE! by nexuslexus Jun 17, 2005 (1:42 pm)
">   Well... there it is. Now, it claims to be a LS600h sketch... but it looks to me like the plate in front says LS500.. so I don't know.. maybe its the 500.   Anyways, its a beauty!!!

Replying to: nexuslexus (Jun 17, 2005 1:42 pm) Thanks for posting the picture. There are some definite styling cues from the GS and IS in the "C" pillar design and rake of the rear window. It also appears to have tail lights that sweep around the sides of the car. I like the low-wide stance and also the dished wheel design. I do have to admit that, overall, it's not as radical as I had expected (not necessarily a bad thing). I can't tell if the line that flows along the side of the headlights down through the bumper to the side of the fog light is actually a design feature or just the artist's way of shading.   Because of the rake of the rear window, there might be less headroom for rear seat passengers and if the trunk has been shortened, like the GS, there might also be less trunk space or maybe a smaller opening. It will be interesting to see how closely this sketch resembles the actual car. For me, Lexus' new designs have looked much better when seeing the actual car than seeing them in pictures.

#329 of 3321 Better in person by nexuslexus Jun 17, 2005 (2:50 pm)
Yeah.. .the same thing has been true for me too (especially the IS). I am undecided on whether that wrap around back is a good or bad thing. It seems g35esque.
