2007 Lexus LS (Worlds first 8 Speed Gearbox)

[oliB]

I read that the new LS also has an intelligent parkisg assist system which will actually parallel park for you.

Sorry, but I seriously doubt that.

I know those systems are in development and I've seen working models by BMW and Mercedes, but to me it's higly unlikely that this will already be featured in the new LS.

[Kebab gud]

both Citroen ands Toyota have those systems ready ..
its a option on the JDM prius..

And they are even going to sell it in Germany.

So it wouldnt be unlikely to be an option in the LS.

the "kink" on the LS is closly related to the Toyota 2000GT ..

Wow, I didn't know they're that far with those systems. I stand corrected.

http://europeancarweb.com/tech/0401ec_6series02/[/url]]The progenitor of the E9 CS coupes was the 1965 2000C. The designer, Wilhelm Hoffmeister, is credited with first penning the little forward wedge at the base of the C-pillar that has become a BMW design hallmark known as the "Hoffmeister kink."

Yeah that profile shot looks incredibly like the 7-series.
