#NAIAS: Lexus Readies All New UX And LS Concepts

With just a few days left until the 2017 Detroit Auto Show opens its gates, Lexus has announced its premieres for the event.

 Teased in a sketch that partially reveals its front end and chassis, the new generation LS celebrates its world premiere in Detroit, 28 years after the first model was shown.

 Boasting a new look, with a coupe-ish silhouette that is said not to compromise interior space, the flagship sedan is underpinned by a new rear-wheel drive global architecture for luxury vehicles, named GA-L, which is shared with the LC.

The 2017 Detroit Auto Show photo galleries are sponsored by Lexus.

If the LS comes off looking close to the concept, the boredom makers at BMW and Audi will have a real problem on their hands. The LS won't challenge the S Class of course, but doing major damage to Germany's #2 and #3 would be a huge win.

Agreed with you, the new LS will most likely taking away sales from A8 and 7-Series, but remember back in 2007, the LS overtook S-Class when it was redesigned, so there's an outside chance it could happen again. All depends on the new design and tech...

Unless the LS radically shifts its price point, it and the S Class aren't actually in the same league if we look at transaction prices.

The spindle grill keeps growing on me and I think it looks really good in the UX. Not very sure yet about the concept car's profile.

Re. the new LS, I think MDrringer is right and I can't wait to see the new car in person

Lexus again assaults my sense of visual integrity. Hideous per usual. But at least it's not a boxy mess like the VW Atlas is shaping up to be. My opinion ...

Looks like Toyota/Lexus will be getting the most attention at this years show.
