Take a good look at those two sites. . . it's not an LS430. Look very closely and you might noticed the curved roof(vs flat) and slightly different window shape and C pillar. Nope, it's an entirely different car but very similar. OH SO BEAUTIFUL! If you wanna waste more time, scan around for the specs(no I don't read Japanese either) and you'll see that it's also slightly smaller than the 430, with a smaller, narrower wheelbase. V-6 with 6spd auto! I wonder if this beauty will ever make it out of Japan and onto our shores as a Lexus. Probably not. The former Crown Athlete and Royal's used to be Lexus's, as was the Toyota Celsior. Hmmm. . .

The Celsior -Aristo - Soarer everyone wanted one here in 1988-1989 now look very popular as Lexus cars. I would rather see U.S. selling the cars as they are sold here........ ALL OPTIONS twin turbo / the works.
