Lexus LF-Sh premium hybrid sedan concept bows in Tokyo

The Tokyo Motor Show was again the stage for a concept debut that gives us a glimpse at an upcoming model. According to Inside Line, Lexus did everything but come right out and say its LF-Sh concept is the next LS. The concept features a hybrid V8 powertrain and all-wheel drive, a combo that could make it to production but expect the most popular version to remain a conventional V8/RWD layout. Props go toLeft Lane News for getting some nice pics of the concept. We’re split on it here at AutoBlog. Some see it as muscular and for a sedan and a nice blend of design elements from the IS/GS sedans and the SC. Others see at is extremely derivative of many other premium sedans, particularly some German ones. We’ll let you be the judge.
