dam i remember my dad bought a lexus ls 400 back in 1995 and omg what a Ride... the suspension was like riding on clouds.. i think that car was way more comfortable than the mercedez s500..
Naanu Loper why are you talking about a Toyota ? This is a Lexus I don't care if Toyota owns it. Only little kids & German fan boys call Lexus a Toyota
Ima smokaahh that interior ambient lighting by the navigation display looks horrible, so does Lexus's digital gauge cluster. Their traditional gauges are beautiful and elegant. Hopefully you can get the trade mark electro illuminescent gauges that they've had since the beginning of the brand.
K_Q_ J_H now I know that you are just a child who can't believe he has money and brags about it and spends it on rubbish like lexus. I'm sorry for you…
Faisal al-inaizi, you're ignorant. Lexus is very well established as one of the very best luxury brands money can buy. With top marks in comfort, quietness, refinement and long term ownership with stellar customer service and reliability. But, if you want to be a bitter, hate filled troll, I guess that's your choice.
bliglum say what you want… its a hideous mercedes wanna be car. Ugly unrefined at all with this overdone design… How can you call this refined?? I guess you're blind.
this is just beautiful and will rival the s class with ease. What a beautiful exterior and interior design with a world first safety system regarding pedestrians as well. Can't wait to see full reviews of this and better interior and exterior analysis.
Chris Sorreda ...with no V8 option at launch!? Coil spring suspension with air optional!? Maybe if this thing started at $40,000 they would have a chance.
Forrest Scott Brinkley I don't know all the details yet but the last LS was a good car, just really really old. Re-sale value and reliability makes Lexuses/Lexii sell. The mere fact that they made an almost all new one is a big deal. Not to mention this might, as usual, significantly undercut it's rivals.
Chris Sorreda well from this video and other online sources we can tell that there's no V8, which is automatically going to drive some away in this category, and the standard suspension is going to be coil spring 😴...why don't they just license GM magride and get it over with? I'm no Cadillac fan but it would be the best way to get a well-balanced semi-active setup without pouring R&D $ into a system like Active Body Control.
I'm still not quite a fan of the hourglass grill, but those headlamps are so sexy now. just the way it looks like an exaggerated brush stroke that appears to connect to the shapes in the headlamp and form a Z almost just looks so much better than any other iteration of their headlamp styling yet.
This seems to be one of their better implementation of their grill design, Although it wasn't that appealing at first, it has grown on me throughout the years.
front fenders looks like Mazda 6, back door till the trunk looks like a bubble. and the front end looks like IS from 2014, and yet you paying close to 100k. Interior is sick though, and reliability
K_Q_ J_H out of the Germans, S class has the best seats, pretty soft and the massage functionality is better (I put them 3rd overall behind Volvo And Lexus) , then the 7 series, and Audi, haven't tried it tho
K_Q_ J_H They aren't horrible, pretty great, any time I can get a hot stone massage while in traffic like I did, shiiiid it's pretty good. but Volvo always knows how to make among the best seats in the biz so I wouldn't be surprised
Proportionally I can see where you're coming (vaguely) from but other than that they look nothing alike, also I don't think looking like a Porsche is necessarily a bad thing right?
Pat Huynh it doesn't, I guess u r talking bout the coupe shape at the rear. If that is the case then all cars with the coupe shape at the rear look like each other. Also all cars with a boxy shape look alike as well.
Great look Lexus, outside of the rising belt line. The Buick LaCrosse does a better job of creating a smooth organic rise to the D pillar. Great job, otherwise. Don't know if Mercedes S Class shoppers will make the switch.
The front looks really ugly. 2018 Camry seems to have the similar design. Is the front(like net) made made from hard metal ? In the low speed collision, the old style bump can simply replaced. If this front part made from hard metal, the force will be transferred to the side, top and back, easily damage the other parts. How expensive to replace this part.
Never had much of an opinion about that honkin' big grill. Too bad they included it. Ruins the whole effect of those new vents. The interior? Looks like a white belt and white shoes with brown polyester pants.
chili pom pom Sometimes you have to see person, then you can tell how beautiful Lexus LS 500 and appreciate how this car look and reliable, quality and very very quiet cabin. I has LS before trust me
I don't see the beauty in this car. The exterior is a mish mash of sharp creases and protruding bits yet the interior has smooth lines. It's as if it was designed by different manufacturers. It is not classy or elegant. It is garish and OTT. And that small instrument binnacle behind the steering wheel looks cramped and doesn't fit here. Maybe it is fine in an LC but not in an LS. This will dedinitely only appeal to the US market once again. I don't see them selling much in Europe or other parts of the world.
Lexus be trying too hard with their design elements being all L's honestly must it have an L shape on every inch of the car. what's next l shape mirrors?seats?wheels?? enough already.
I spy a Sofyan in the beginning lol
It looks super sporty and upscale at the same time. The design is truly awesome.
lexus really stepping up their game! Like if you agree.
dam i remember my dad bought a lexus ls 400 back in 1995 and omg what a Ride... the suspension was like riding on clouds.. i think that car was way more comfortable than the mercedez s500..
Who ever says this car is ugly is either a German fanboy or blind
I think the huge chrome grille looks bad, but it would look better if it's black.
Just wait for the F-sport model then
Naanu Loper why are you talking about a Toyota ? This is a Lexus I don't care if Toyota owns it. Only little kids & German fan boys call Lexus a Toyota
Ne0c225 I personally like the Lexus grill & hell yea it would look great in black

THAT LOOKS LIKE A CONCEPT!!! WOW I LOOOOVVVVEEE IT ANOTHER GREAT CAR FROM LEXUS
Good looking car
fuck that ls fucking gorgeous damn!
u wish
K_Q_ J_H some people like you have such bad taste…

Lexus LS 500 too beautiful
Another winner
that interior though
this is just beautiful and will rival the s class with ease. What a beautiful exterior and interior design with a world first safety system regarding pedestrians as well. Can't wait to see full reviews of this and better interior and exterior analysis.
It will never match the S class when it comes to the size of repair bills.
😂
I'm curious if they're done with the 5l v8 or is the ttv6 replacing it in the lc. also what's replacing the is350/supra
Not really fan of the grill, but maybe a different color combination will fix that. Other than that, this is a beautiful, beautiful car!
Wow... that's actually a pretty damn good-looking car. Didn't think Lexus could pull it off on an LS, but they did. :)
the front headlight looks so good
All-new chassis and engine? I think Lexus just won.
Chris Sorreda ...with no V8 option at launch!? Coil spring suspension with air optional!? Maybe if this thing started at $40,000 they would have a chance.

Can't wait for a review
Will there be all wheel drive available?
The grill only gets bigger and bigger from here.
Alyaan Jiwani by 2020 the car would be a big grill
a grill with wheels
I LOVE ITTTTTTTT MY DREAM CAR!! I ALWAYS HATED THE DESIGN OF THE LS EVEN THO WE HAVE TWO LEXUS LS'S BUT THIS ONE! ITS JUST SOMETHING ELSE
what a beautiful car!
Holy shit, that is gorgeous. Definitely the best looking full size sedan, taking the title from the Jaguar XJ.
I like it, just wish the grill was bigger
weirdshibainu any bigger and the car would be a rolling grille XD
I feel like it will look ten times better in person. Still kinda debating whether I like the grille or not.
This seems to be one of their better implementation of their grill design, Although it wasn't that appealing at first, it has grown on me throughout the years.
The V-8 is gone?
front fenders looks like Mazda 6, back door till the trunk looks like a bubble. and the front end looks like IS from 2014, and yet you paying close to 100k. Interior is sick though, and reliability
Very beautiful looking car, wish I could afford it haha
So will there be an L version or are they all LWB?
They are now all long-wheelbase models.
Kelley Blue Book So now Lexus being all LWB, Whose back seat is larger in size? S class, LS or 7 series?
K_Q_ J_H Lexus always makes the best seats. them and Volvo
K_Q_ J_H out of the Germans, S class has the best seats, pretty soft and the massage functionality is better (I put them 3rd overall behind Volvo And Lexus) , then the 7 series, and Audi, haven't tried it tho
K_Q_ J_H They aren't horrible, pretty great, any time I can get a hot stone massage while in traffic like I did, shiiiid it's pretty good. but Volvo always knows how to make among the best seats in the biz so I wouldn't be surprised
looks like concept car
makes jaguar xj looked like 10 year old car
maybe thats because it is...
I use to be a big fan of Lexus, owning a is300 at one point. The direction that Lexus has been going is very sad.
I need to see this in black
Looks like a mix between the Panamera and an Infiniti Q50
... a face only a mother can love....
Rc, RX , LS, and LC 500 Are the best looking lexus
Why does it look like the new Porsche Panamera?
i.imgur.com/JRT7P2p.png
Proportionally I can see where you're coming (vaguely) from but other than that they look nothing alike, also I don't think looking like a Porsche is necessarily a bad thing right?
Pat Huynh I was thinking the same thing, from the side it does look like the Panamera which isn't bad at all!
Pat Huynh it doesn't, I guess u r talking bout the coupe shape at the rear. If that is the case then all cars with the coupe shape at the rear look like each other. Also all cars with a boxy shape look alike as well.
Pat Huynh this true but in my opinion lexus look much better than porsche. but both of them better than boring bmw 7 and new genesis G90 and s class
love the grill
Finally a gorgeous LS! Hope Lexus doesnt fuck it up
that is the actual production car...
dunhillsupramk3 many more ways to fuck up a car than its looks.
man, I want one!
Cars are starting to look better than most people, bring back the late 90s and early 00s when cars were bland as fuck
Anyone notice the headlight is in z shape
Is that a genuine bearskin rug on the floor?
Farmed or wild?
Daß ist beste Auto die Welt 👍👍👍👍💖💖💖
Great look Lexus, outside of the rising belt line. The Buick LaCrosse does a better job of creating a smooth organic rise to the D pillar. Great job, otherwise. Don't know if Mercedes S Class shoppers will make the switch.
No V8?
ProjectGenesis there's a v8 option the guy who unveiled the car at the auto show said so
that's the engine that will be in the new Toyota supra
Itay Rozenstein Wtf. They're making a new supra? If they actually are they better not Fuck it up.
so a V6 in a LS?....i hope thats not the only drive train option.....im saying that as if i have the money to buy one lol
nice car
God bless! It has a CD player!!!
And yet, no Apple Car play or Android Auto. That's just wrong.
wow!
And ugly is included at no extra cost!
Says the ugly lad with no taste.
Nice!!!!!
Beautiful, but God damn that front is so damn busy. Fucked up grill...
Sexy design Lexus
good review he looks tired .
The front looks really ugly. 2018 Camry seems to have the similar design.

If this front part made from hard metal, the force will be transferred to the side, top and back, easily damage the other parts. How expensive to replace this part.
Side profile a bit of Panamera and interior a bit of Mercedes in my opinion.
They could have kept the design a little bit tame... this doesn't look very serious.
I dont think the grille is big enough.
Nice design,but this type of money and it doesnt have android auto or apply car play...
Beautiful, but that sloping roof is not for me.
this is getting ridiculous ! 10 speed wtf? car will be too busy trying to find the right gear to shift smoothly.
WoW!!! now that is a Flagship car. Eat your hearts out boring Spartan Germans!!!
Massage chairs!? -drools-
Predator Grille gets even worse
looks like a Panamera
iP0intNLaugh Hell no.
Those fangs of the tail light looks so nasty
John Joshua Good nasty or bad nasty?
Jonathan Grant I'm thinking a good nasty
Never had much of an opinion about that honkin' big grill. Too bad they included it. Ruins the whole effect of those new vents. The interior? Looks like a white belt and white shoes with brown polyester pants.
Lack of trunk space is annoying
Since the Bush era? Lexus has been resting on her laurels
That grill is a bit much.
10 speed auto? Wot the fooook?
is that a grille, or a cow-catcher? Stop it Lexus!
Sorry , but 7-series for me.these huge grills are really annoying
chili pom pom

I like zach

the front looks nice, the rear looks rare and the interior looks shit
The dash is HIDEOUS!!!!!!
Lexus be trying too hard with their design elements being all L's honestly must it have an L shape on every inch of the car. what's next l shape mirrors?seats?wheels?? enough already.
Kirk Lazarus III great thing is that they could probably find a way to make l shaped everything
Can't wait 'till they get rid of the cowcatcher nose
WTF is this Lexus???? It looks ugly!!!!
1990Thunderbolt Honestly Iont think the color probably does this car design justice, I bet red, blue etc would make it look really better.
none of that matters at this point. it looks hideous especially the interior. i'm disappointed! lexus could've done better than this!
1990Thunderbolt Are you kidding???
1990Thunderbolt OK now you lost me. the interior is gorgeous
nope.
Kinda ok, but still the S class is better
Khalifa Alzaabi lol nice joke!
