Well, I'm just glad it doesn't look *that* different from our '03 LS430. I suppose members of this board may notice the difference between the '03 and the '04, but I doubt the majority of the public will realize that there's been a change.

I reall like the minor adjustments to the rear and especially the front. Still not too crazy about how the car lines look from the side view. With a nice set of JDM dish wheels and a drop it would look sooooo sweet.
BTW once u sit inside the LS, u forget all about the exterior. To me it has the absolute best interior compared to any car in its segment. The LS is just an incredible car.

Also, yes it does have the Mark Levinson Sound System along with DTS digital DVD, VHF TV, Back-up camera with auto sensing steering input tacking - shows the projected path of the car when in reverse based on the steering input geometry and what they call G-Book which I think is like the GM operator assistance cell phone thingy in the States - you know the Batman comercial???...... Also has a active front proximity sensor to warn you when you are getting too close to the car in front.... And - will have to wait for the wife to translate in full - also the headlights seem to be intuitive by following the road angle at night depending on steering input - they look ahead into the corner by the diagrams??
What else - 4 types of wood trim - 4 colors of leather - 9 exterior body colors - dealer installed 3-piece body kit - dealer installed 17 or 18" BBS wheels.
That's all from the first once over decipher of the Book..
Cheers

Do you happen to have a picture of the 18" 5-spoke wheels? I'm sure they'll make the car look a lot nicer.
The white stripes in the rear lights don't seem to align very well between the trunk lid and the sides though.
