When will a new model LS430 (or equivalent) be sold?

Next year's model LS 430 is going to be a major overhaul. Have no details.

From a conversation with the service manager at my dealer from information he received at a recent conference.:

1. The new version of the LS will be a 2007 model, due out in the fall of 2006.

1. AWD, Hybrid, and V10 were all mentioned. He said this will be a major effort by Lexus to shock the other manufacturers, as they did in the early 1990's with the LS400.

He also said Hybrid versions will be offered across the line over the next few years.

I've read speculation that Lexus will introduce some much spendier cars. No specifics, but the implication is that prices might push well past the $50,000 benchmark on a new breed of Lexus.

Thanks for the information; we'll see what's offered in the fall.
