It looks.. wrong.

Maybe it's just the pic (or me) but I see some body sag in the first shot.

The regular LX470 is already god awefully slow. Can't imagine how much slower this thing is.

seeing through any limo windows defeats the purpose of getting one. i agree with joe80- SUV limos are all flash and dont appear to be as fancy as the classic limo look. the only exception is those vegas limos with the jacuzzi and hot babes in the rear.

Never seen a Lexus Limo. Only H2, Escalade, Excursion, Expedition and Navigator. I would like to see the X5 and Modena in person though:

I've seen them before. I used to drive for a Limo company, part time, a few years back. They had the LS430 as well as the LX in limo form. They weren't too badly crafted, however all builders are not the same. Some do more of an exceptional job than others. The BMW limo above just doesn't look right to me; and that Ferrari is just a poor example of body crafting at it's best. Stretch section is extremely bloated, none of the lines flow into the rest of the car seamlessly, and it just looks like they cut the car in half, stuck the section in and put it back together. A lot more attention to detail in trying to integrate the stretch section a little better may have helped here. Being able to see thru the windows from the outside is just wrong; defeats the purpose of privacy.

SUV limos are fun for partying in. but party buses are better. they have poles and everything.
