Kinda odd that the moonroof in a $58k + automobile was an option up till next year. I mostly interested in the satellite radio option and the 6-speed automatic upgrade. Then again, by the time I am ready to buy this vehicle we'll be in the model year 2009!

Actually, the list of the 2004 LS430 changes from AutoSpies is 100% accurate.
I'd still give them some credits. At least they're not all BS.

Then maybe the AutoSpies drawing is accurate as well. If it is and the equipment list is accurate also (hopefully along with the 2 engine options and the Sport Suspension carryover), the LS will be back as a real competitor to the BMW 7 and Merc S.

Intersting Note - Not one confirmed spy photo of the 04 LS yet and it's only a month away from introduction. Amazing! Where do they test these cars, underground?

if that is really the new LS i think that it wuld probably sell good, from the side it looks reallr aggressive though LOL but its nice and atlease they not some better lookin wheels for the LS cause the old ones were nice but they could have been a lil more creative for the LS

IF that is the most likely candidate to become the new LS I would have to give it two thumbs up. I like the new front end.
