Love the car, the way it should have been built. The chassis screams for more power, it's as if Lexus built a Race Car Chassis with Limo interior. I love the Low, Wide, Low CG, 200lbs lighter (yet bigger), updated suspension with active stabilizers on it. I bet it will handle well with aftermarket wheels that fill the entire wheel well in width.

Waiting for more specs, especially engine and for the LS500h.

In the specs, they mention both RWD and AWD, so a guess AWD will be optional. Interesting to know is if the AWD version will also have AWS? If yes, that is the configuration to get.

And what about the LS500h? Would V6TT with Hybrid be overkill? That is what the S Class has and the A8 e-Tron will get.

For all the V8 fans out there (me including), I doubt we'll see a new V8TT engine, unless the LS F and LC F are really coming, or Lexus will build another supercar. I expect a different V6TT version/tuning for the Supra (probably same for next IS F) and Land Cruiser to replace the GR family.

On the other hand, but we have to face the truth, soon high-performance ICEs will be no match against HP BEVs.

The weird treatment of the front fenders makes it resemble an old Mazda 6, weak and cheap. Not a worthy design for an LS.

Your Mazda resembles the very muscular and high-end beautiful Mercedes S Class (W221). I just think your Mazda is weak and cheap, pretending to be something it is not worth.

"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" :)
