That's what I was wondering as well.

These are 'spy sketches' of the new LS430, yet they all have Mercedes emblems are very obvious Mercedes trademarked styling in each picture.

I'd put $50 on the line to say that's nothing of what the LS430 is going to look like.

Lexus has been pretty faithful, it seems, of 3 years of a new chassis, then 2 or 3 years of a slightly facelifted model. I really can't imagine the new LS430 looking that different -- it's just not the way business seems to be done in the luxury car market. Having said that, if these rumors are true, and the '04 LS430 looks that different, I will be quite disappointed, as we just picked up an '03 LS430.

WIDER tires!

the stock LS430 tires look like corolla tires. They are too thin for the body size.

I think that since the LS 430 is the best selling in it's class, people like the styling. THe LS is designed to be the Ultimate Luxo car, not all things to all people. Yeah, it is not sporty looking, yeah it could use bigger wheels but have you ever driven a new Q45 with 18s?Like a 500lbs ballerina.

Lexus pretty much hit the nail in the head with the LS 430.

Yeah Yeah but what about the GS? Why can't someone get an inside scoop on that? I do believe the new LS will be awesome because I think the current one is sweet. A little old looking compared to the competion but a really classy luxury car that will stand the tale of times.
