#336 of 3321 So... by lexi4life Jun 22, 2005 (12:10 pm)
So far we have:   LS460 (4.6L, 340 hp) SWB LS500 (5.0L, 400hp) LWB LS600h (5.0 + electric motors, 480hp?) LWB   Is that correct or I'm wrong? Replies to this message: ljflx (Jun 22, 2005 1:00 pm)

Replying to: lexi4life (Jun 22, 2005 12:10 pm) But is the LS500 pure gas or a hybrid. There is supposed to be a mid-level and upper level hybrid.

Replying to: yamamurakelvin (Jun 16, 2005 7:12 pm) Kevin,   A belated THANK YOU for the great info.   A few questions/comments, if you find the time at some point:   1. Is IASS similar to (or being developed with) Bose? (as in the link I had posted some time ago http://www.automobilemag.com/news/0410_bose/ )   2. I think it would make sense if "Active Safe" (which I assume means automated braking) also applied to objects detected by rear sensors (day or night). Especially important for SUVs...a couple of years ago in my town, a woman backed up and ran over her 2-year old grandson with a SUV, and the child was killed.   3. You suggested that the Lane Departure Warning System would use radar, but I don't see how that could be...in the U.S. at least the lane markings are usually only painted...I assume the system must be optical??? If so, I think it would be very useful if it also detected vehicles in the blind spot (and warned against lane changes if it would result in a collision).   4. Any additional commentary on other vehicles would be appreciated. For instance, has there been any decision to build something like the LF-X, and if so, is it 5, 6, or 7 passenger? In what timeframe might we see a hybrid GX and LX?   5. Personally I think Lexus should add a 7-8 passenger vehicle that has more space than a GX (which I regard as far too narrow for its price point) but better gas mileage than an LX. If not the LF-X, then maybe a crossover based on the Sienna (just as the Acura MDX is based on the Odyssey). Speaking for myself (currently owner of a LX and RX) I am tempted to replace the LX with an MDX, for several reasons: interior space (compared to GX), price (compared to LX), gas mileage.   Anyway, thanks again for the info on the LS!
#339 of 3321 ljfix_ Good Stuff But by wbwynn Jun 22, 2005 (5:38 pm)
My friend...hope you are well.. Im OK.....gee.. I just love my 04 LS..so much that I read this great board with anticipation of the new LS...no comments but just to say "it will be what it will be"....and it will be so GD good....enough to make me buy it. I am a short timer for having owned a LS for only 6 years...but I do know for sure that I will own an LS the rest of my life....period   BMW and MB are lost....IMO   As an aside...I am a huge fan of Honda...for your kids...no better...Accords, CRVs, Pilots,....let em live.   Gas prices will NOT go down in this decade.   BW

As I've said before, its no sports car, but for the most basic automobile mission of getting from one place to another, there's not a better vehicle in the world, period. Lexus would have to really screw up for me to drive something else.

Replying to: nexuslexus (Jun 17, 2005 1:42 pm) I like it a lot....
#342 of 3321 sketch...GT? by syswei Jun 25, 2005 (1:57 pm)
Replying to: nexuslexus (Jun 17, 2005 1:42 pm) I wonder if that's the GT version. If I recall, the GT was the only rumored version that was supposed to get a 5 liter engine, and the sketch clearly indicates 5 liter.   If it is a GT version that may explain why it looks so low-slung and aggressive. The standard trim probably won't look quite the same, is my guess.
#343 of 3321 Sketch vs. reality by nvbanker Jun 25, 2005 (2:07 pm)
Most sketches look better than the production models ever do, but if some of those styling cues get in there, I'm gonna like it. Replies to this message: mikegiller (Jun 26, 2005 12:24 pm) nvbanker (Jun 26, 2005 1:53 pm) mikegiller (Jun 26, 2005 3:57 pm)
#344 of 3321 S-Class by nexuslexus Jun 25, 2005 (6:46 pm)
Well, I know this is slightly offtopic, but have you guys seen the new S-Class? See it at autospies.com. I think its horribly ugly and it has an i-drive type controler. I think this will be a considerable help to Lexus's LS.
#345 of 3321 nexuslexus by lexusguy Jun 25, 2005 (7:07 pm)
I dont think its necessarily ugly, but I dont really like it. It borrows too many ques from the Maybach, and the inside is a literal cut and paste from the 7 series. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Jun 26, 2005 11:53 am)
