Tease of 2013 Lexus LS sedan now on Facebook

Lexus is joining the social teasing party by uploading a darkened, smoky image of the redesigned 2013 Lexus LS sedan.

We can't see much, but we do get a sense of the general shape of the car, which looks to be a bit more streamlined than the model it replaces.

An earlier teaser shot showed the front end of the new LS. It looks to follow the same design language as the redesigned GS sedan, with an angular grille and headlights that point toward the center.

We expect the same two trim lines when the Lexus LS is revealed on July 30. The LS460 should get a 4.6-liter V8, while LS600 will include a V8 and electric motors.
