"your Mazda", LOL. Th new LS looks like a cheap and weak Mazda 6. Fanboys wont see it of course, but it is in fact the impression that the design gives out. I like the look of it from the front though. But unfortunately they made it look FWD instead of RWD, which adds to the weak look of this new LS.

It's clearly a mix-up. Here's the same area in the regular LS (curiously, with a spacer on the right of the rightmost of the 4 buttons, unlike the LS hybrid, which has no such spacer on the right despite the same number of buttons):

Thanks in advance for asking about it though.
After asking all I will say is "good eye" :)

I assume there's some as-yet unannounced passenger-side infotainment system. Can anyone at NAIAS fill anything in on that?

It's really lost a lot of class compared to previous LS series cars. So many useless style lines on the grill, body and especially the dash. It looks a bit cheap. I guess Lexus designers want youth appeal (as if the IS products weren't enough). BMW tried this a while ago and alienated customers. Remember the BMW 7-Series sedan with the trunk they called the "Bangle Butt" after the designer? They had to smooth out the creases and corners to get 7 series buyers back. Maybe "LS" now stands for "Line Style"

I like most of the photos. But for me, the photo of the undercarriage is a work of art and brings back memories of advertisements of the original LS.
