Personally, I am hoping for more, rather than less, wood in the '07. The wood and leather in this car are georgeous now and hopefully even better in '07. Also, I love the look of the Nav (some wood surrounding that would be a good place to add some!!).

Replying to: lexusguy (Aug 18, 2005 11:34 am) Audi does nice interiors too but their reliability isn't up to par with Lexus. Anyway, in Car and Driver I saw a picture of the new LS without any covering. It looks great. I just C&D would post those pictures on the net. It said the new hybrid engine would offer V6 mileage with V12 performance. That's good, because Lexus needs a V12 to compete with Germany's finest.

Replying to: navigator89 (Aug 18, 2005 12:15 pm) Lexus interiors have always been very good, but until recently they've lacked the harmonious blend of luxury and technology that is the Audi signature, the best examples (imo) of which were the last A6 and the current A8. I think only with the new GS and IS has Lexus finally reached that level of setting the bar in interiors.

Hello all Kevin and I are planning to provide post new updates regarding the new LS sedan and we hope that all of your concerns would be answered as much as possible (especially the discussion on whether the new LS sedan would going to have 8 or 7 speed transmission). Furthermore, Kevin would also post some interesting information regarding the LF-A sport sedan that you might interested (such as whether or not this sedan would going bear a name of ZF “The ultimate formula sedan” as been rumored in my homeland). I believe he would also going to provide some background information regarding the Century sedan that he has been working on and would explain how this new sedan would going to become a distinct Ultra-Luxury brand for Toyota, just like Mercedes have for their Maybach brand. Finally he would probably (if he has time) would discuss the problems you are concern regarding the IS sedan and might also give you some background info regarding the two new hatchback sedans that you might not aware, but already proposed recently by the research board at Toyota. Before I go, I will now just very briefly going to say about what I have know so far about the transmission issue since there already some intense arguments in the forum. - I can confirm that Toyota was cooperating with a transmission company to develop a new CVT system. However (but I cannot confirm it) that this new CVT system would ONLY going to first implanted on the LS hybrid sedan before it would make it’s way to other LS models during it’s mid-year model refresh. - For now, it’s suggested that the new LS gas powered sedan would first going to share the new 7 speed transmission with the Crown Majestia and Royal sedan and it’s recently approved by the management to go ahead with the upgrade on both the Majestia and Royal sedans during it’s mid-model refresh. Anyways, I should not further discuss this issue further since Kevin would know much more about the transmission issue than I am. Therefore I would going to leave this topic for him to discuss for next week. Ken Mitsui
