I decided to make a dedicated topic for this, since there isn't one .
For years now I myself have contemplated and thought about what the next-gen LS might hold for us, and what it might bring to the table, ever since the updated and refreshed 2013 LS debuted. I like all Lexus models in their own ways, and the LS holds a special place in my heart. Even though I've never owned an LS, and won't be in the market for one for quite a while (simply because it's too large for me), I've always considered the LS to be the most pure, and truest embodiment of the Lexus brand.
I never cease to be amazed at what the 1st-gen LS400 did for the industry; how it rocked the competition, and set many new standards in the class, as well as several world firsts. Now some people say Lexus simply cannot recreate that. Call me an idealist, but I believe they can.
There have only been some very distant and vague rumors about the next-gen LS. Other than that, Toyota has kept development extremely secretive, which is no surprise. We have had some possible hints at what the next-gen LS might have, like the TMG 650 LS being a possible hint. Other than that we have nothing but guesses.
I personally feel, and would be willing to bet, that the reason the next-gen LS has been in development for so long is that Lexus is going to go all out with the next-gen model. I predict that the next-gen LS will match up extremely competitively with the S-Class. Not only that, I feel it will be a world-class debut that will rock the industry almost as much as the 1st-gen LS did, and will set a number of world firsts. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit, but I feel confident .
