S Class is beautiful, no doubting that. But I think the new LS is most certainly the most dynamic looking flagship luxury sedan.

They did such a great job with this car.

Also unbelievable that they're having this 5LS preview at Skywalker Ranch! A very unique place for a media event.

There was only one LS we could take photos of on the property, and that was it -- no photos anywhere else. It was pretty intense.

No LS500h F-Sport in North America according to the video, but mikeavelli says the hybrid here in North America should get the F-Sport option.

No F SPORT hybrid available in North America.

I've been wondering about this since it was debuted...
I really don't think it will be offered only with 5 passengers, remembering the LF-FC concept, it had a 4 seat configuration.. could it be only offered with fuel cell LS ?

Nothing was mentioned about a pure four-seat version, but I don't see it being a big deal -- the armrest is well integrated into the design and doesn't seem out of place at all.

I was really REALLY interested in a hybrid F-Sport. This is really disappointing for me and really changes some things. Pretty shocked it won't be offered here when there is a LC 500h.

USA Market
LC 500h
LS 500h
GS 450h and F-Sport
RX 450h and F-Sport
NX 300h
CT 200h and F-Sport (otw out)

I don't get it.

Lot of patrols?
