Thanks for the great photos.

Somehow it looks like just a part of the Toyota dealership.

I thought they went all out to create a separate brand identity for Lexus.

My guess is it's a well-regarded Toyota dealership picked to have a Lexus outlet (like Longo Lexus).

The building looks very large and nice...especially the white light strip...Toyota doesn't have that!

Is it in the States? Looks as if this picture was taken in HK.

I noticed that traffic were going the different direction and the license plate on one car is yellow.

Plus, there's some Japanese writing just beneath some portion of the white strip.

It's funny how you both contradict and answer your own question in one post.

Good observation though.

That's what happens when you tried to type the response and come up with explanatory observations at the same time.

That's what I thought too, but I guess not as they Jexus Japan website still states that it's a part of TMC. Plus, the LS430 is still a Celsior (ie. under the Toyota logo) in Japan.

I'm sure when the new one comes out it'll be an LS
