The new Camry interior actually looks nicer than the Passat Grande, I mean A8.
i would not go that far, because you will notice higher quality materials at that price... but yeah, it looks nice and looks like it will feel nice too... a big, big departure from cheapo interios that Camry and Toyota in general always had (that started with Prius and got upped by C-HR).

I'm not familiar with VAG practice; does the intro now mean it's a 2019, or might it actually show up this fall?

I think its just their own debut....car brands seem to moving away from relying on car shows to debut cars...

Seems there will be a really sick rear massage option including your feet lol

Wow. Wow. Wow
After the release of the new Audi A8 I will say
Its a full winning mark to Lexus LS in comparison to the grand Passat
Interior Design
Exterior Design
dare to say even engines the 460hp in Audi came from turbo V8 4.0l
Now LS have 2 V6 engines TT & Hybrid and both out performing A8 V6 TDI & TFSI
the A8 are just topped in the A8 as LS ditches or still not have V8 TT & Hybrid

Those are my taught exactly. Just like I said in another forum all I can say is the LS would still be unique. And with Mercedes, BMW, and Audi making a 6 cylinder version of their flagship sedan. I think it is safe to say Lexus would be pricing the new LS against them. The only thing I still notice is none of the German V6 is has powerful as the LS but they are close. Also, as we know the Germans engine are mostly underrated. with that been said, I have a feeling Lexus would not fumble on the TTV6 considering the fact that they want it to compete with the V8 variants of the competitors and if there is any plan of that engine trickling down to the performance versions of the IS, RC, and maybe the GS. Unless they have a surprise V8 lurking some where that won't be "LSF".(Personally I still think there would be a V8 LS. I suspect Lexus is playing a waiting game to see what the competitors have coming out).

I still have a feeling that Lexus have something in store for the LS before it goes on sale. Just like no one was expecting the LS350 that was introduced in Japan. Am not expecting a V12 but I think there would be something to compete with the competitors 12 cylinders.
