So Lexus what's next??? New IS? GS? RXL? What do we have to look forward too?! I know we have the LS500h in Geneva but let's move past LS for just a sec where does Lexus go next? 2017 will be a great year!
I am mostly looking forward to LX and GX (Land Cruiser).

LS F is what I'm salivating about :)

You mean a full-F version, right? If my memory is right (and correct me if I'm wrong), you either once had (or still have) an LS F-Sport.

So...how likely is it that Lexus will show off a 4-seat variant of the LS500 at Geneva with a proper big central unit with tables etc?

Is it just me who feels the middle seat being folded down to provide this seems a little cheap? I know the current LS you can spec with either this 5-seat variant and then the 4-seat variant with the impressive big centre console unit...but that also came with the reclining seats and longwheelbase which the LS already is.

This leads me to think there will no longer be a 4-seat variant of the car which is a shame, I know this may seems strange and splitting hairs but I feel opening the door to a car with the big chunky centre console in the rear with fold out tables etc. is far more impressive than the seat folded down...even worse the head rest is attached so it hangs down and just looks silly/cheap.

Here's hoping...

.even worse the head rest is attached so it hangs down and just looks silly/cheap.
Well, same "cheap" headrest hanging down from segment leader, LWB S Class W222.



And the LWB 7 Series G01 with 2 individual reclining seats and 3rd middle seat (not optional 2 seat with center console running through) does not look "expensive" without hanging middle headrest.



You think the "expensive" Ghost (re-badged BMW) does a good job? Those are not even seats, it is a bench.



I think the most important thing is that Lexus proposes optional 4 seats, like they did with the previous one. Nothing much can be done to 3 rear seats.

Sounds like a lot of individual preferences to me. Manufactures will never make everyone happy. IJS. Too Expensive :)
