Lexus has finally given us the first official image of the 2013 LS, and while it's wearing the new corporate spindle grille face, there doesn't appear to be many other changes to its shape. Bigger changers may be happening beneath the skin, however. We'll find out for sure on Monday...

Today, we have new spy video of BMW's upcoming 2013 4-Series coupe. Of course, the two-door may yet be badged as a 3-Series, but whichever number it gets, it'll be the same car--and it will likely share its powertrain with the 3-Series sedans. The 2012 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality...
