Looks nice in a nonoffensive kind of way, but for some reason it just looks like any other Toyota sedan.

I was just looking at the current LS on the road and remembered the pic here. The LS looks like a big sedan (b/c it really is) in real life, but these pics of the upcoming one make it look more like a midsizer?

Front and back looks nice, actually I like that rear end the most. But the side profile looks way too much like the IS. Which the IS looks like a Scion tC to begin with.

But not as bad. Don't like what Lexus is doing with their chrome - the sharp corners on the grille and windows. But overall a good design. Looks like an IS and an ES combined.

It looks to me basically like a Bangle 7 series... just less ugly.

I'd love to drive one of these.

Even the the S-class looks like this. It does look like a 7 but better. It doesn't look disproportional. I think it looks good.

Besides the slight mangle, I mean, Bangle, trunk, I don't see the 7-Series.

Lexus LF-Sh - - Source: The Car Connection

By all official accounts, the Lexus sedan shown on the stands at this year's Tokyo Motor Show is a concept. But with its softer, prettier shape sharing so much in common with the new IS and GS sedans, it's hard to imagine the LF-Sh concept being anything but a production-ready version of the next LS sedan. Beneath its comely skin, the LF-Sh bears a V-8 engine mated to a hybrid motor system to produce "an acceleration feeling of a different dimension," as executives describe it. The hybrid powertrain is capable of providing all-wheel drive. The concept LF-Sh is 199.2 inches long, with a 116.9-inch wheelbase-roughly two inches and one inch longer than the current LS 430. Toyota may be working on a new transmission with seven speeds for the production version of the LF-Sh, along with a lane-departure warning system and an updated version of its night-vision system.

I like it alot. The grill is fresh. Nice profile and greenhouse. The chrome strip at the bottom of the profile as seen on the GS is nice here... I like the rear. Even though they've followed Bangles' school of thought, it's done correctly here, IMO. Same way the new Sonata corrects the last Accords ugly rear.

It looks nice but still conservative. It would probably be more desirable if the interior and powertrain was shown also.

The front and sides look good, but the rear lights look like an enlarged version of the ES330 or IS350 lights

Hybrid, awd, v8 only?

That's a hot car. Masculine yet mature and conservative. It has some 7 series stylings yet the overall look is similar to the GS and IS. It'll sell like hotcakes.
