#NYIAS: Lexus Adds Sport To The LS500 F But Forgets The Bump In Power To Match The Look

Lexus has chosen the 2017 New York International Auto Show to show the new LS 500 F Sport for the first time.

It's a go-faster, more dynamic version of the latest LS limousine that was unveiled at the Detroit show in January 2017. Lexus claims it ‘delivers the most engaging driving experience of any LS yet.’ Which, if we were to be cruel, isn’t necessarily setting the bar high, but nonetheless sounds promising.?

The 2017 New York Auto Show photo galleries are sponsored by Lexus.

Something just occurred to me: That Lexus picture looks like someone took a normal car and applied the Photoshop "pinch" effect, and not in a nice way. Picture someone using their thumb and forefinger on each headlight of a clay model, and then squeezing together.

I just can't wait for this design language to be over for Lexus, I feel like Infiniti may have a real shot now at Lexus if they get their act together with SUV's and sedans.

I applaud Lexus for finding their own identity,with Nike inspiration, but I think it's time to go back to the drawing board

This is the F-Sport, not the LS-F. There is no power bump for F-Sport packages

Like the S Class, this will get you noticed.

Noticed for not having taste of any kind

@jeffgall and the Mercedes flaunts wealth and does so with the most blingy blingyness much of the time. Your point?

That is NOT true of the current SClass - which is clearly an elite vehicle - yet is not "Blingy" at all - unlike most roadsters.

The fact is - the LS500 simply does not have that understated elegance that projects from a true Upper Tier Luxury car - and even Buick does a better job of styling in that regard

@TomM once again, you're wrong. The current S Class is a bling brigade with its owners.

PS...You do realize the S Class isn't a roadster right?
