lmao

I noticed that too. Did they have ChatGPT write the press release?

 

[ssun30]

So you are telling me LS did not have standard wireless charger or digital key before?

If they are that stingy with their flagship might as well stop trying.

Looks like the next LS will be a SUV. @Gecko was right.

 

[Berto3818]

Here is the coupe.

I love those slide out Century doors. I could never get myself to get a van even though there is nothing more practical when you have a family to haul. But with doors like that you can have an SUV with the ease of entry you get with a van. I hope they bring it down to more of their SUV lines.

Curious to see the new silver. 3k paint job

Those didn't exist before the 2024 at all, as far as I know. The charger should've been in the 2021 refresh, but the digital key I can see waiting until now where Apple and Google finally have standards for it.

Seems Silver Illusion has existed in other markets for a while now...

Honestly the wireless charger is useless in every car. Charges slow, the phone shifts around and doesn’t charge and it just gains dust.

 

[Berto3818]

I think it pretty safe to say that the the LF-ZL is going to to be the LF-1 limitless concept and the LS is on its way out.

 

[Levi]

LF-1 looked good, LF-ZL does not. (IMO)

 

[Berto3818]

@Levi I see a lot of the LF-1 in the design. I hope they change some of it. Gecko posted an article a while back about something that is going ground breaking . He was right.

 

[Gor134]

I don't see any similarities between either.

 

[Berto3818]

@Gor134 the ZL from what I’m reading is going to be a lot bigger than the LF1 anyway. It’s going to be be the size of a Navigator. I’m certain that This will replace the LS.

 

[Heicho]

The LS isn't going anywhere.

 

[Berto3818]

The LS isn't going anywhere.

@Heicho I totally disagree.

 

[Kennyth]

@Heicho I totally disagree.

If Lexus wanted the LS gone it would just be gone like the GS. I don’t think they would call anything that’s replacing it LS.
