The LS was a giant slayer. But you'd hardly know that today if you were to compared the current-gen LS versus the likes of its competition. Though it was warmed over a couple years back, it's not on the same playing field as the likes of the BMW 7-Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

For the 2018 model year; however, Lexus is back and it's taking dead aim on its foes. The LS has been completely and utterly revamped and it's going to the mattresses. We got our first look at it during the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.

Given our images and what we know about the vehicle though, we're a wee bit curious: Do YOU think that the 2018 LS has what it takes to strike some fear into the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series?
