2022 Lexus LS 500 gets subtle changes

They're not power operated but Bentleys have had open-close wood panels that hid the center dash controls as far back as the Arnage (if not even further). The nav screen in that car would also flip down out of view. The wood veneer rotating display is merely an extension of those two things.

I see one almost daily in my neighborhood, black with stock chrome like finished wheels. It's nice, but it's just not nice enough. One of those cars you see out the corner of your eye and think "what's that", expecting to be wowed, then you focus in and it's all just "mehhh" and completely move on. This generation just doesn't have that spark/pizazz/etc at all.

You know what's funny about LSes. When I see one in my peripheral vision, the first car that pops into my head is the ES. I have to take a second look. But, I feel like even MB and BMW have this problem to a degree with their midsize and full-size offerings... It's funny how the ES really does come off like a more budget-friendly LS.
You can spot the LS over the ES though from its sheer size.

I own an LS500 and am very disappointed that the ES is a clone. At first glance, especially from a distance, I can barely tell which is which. For the amount of money I spent, I would like to have some exclusivity. I love the interior design, but the smooth and quiet ride I had in my LS600h was far superior. I may be a candidate for an S-Class MB.

Yeah if I see an LS from the side view, it's definitely not an ES-clone. It has some real weight to it that the ES lacks.
It also probably doesn't help that back in KC, ESes were a dime a dozen, and I rarely saw LSes. Here in the Atlanta area there are way more LSes.
edit: Also, love that Autumn Shimmer paint!
