I think #3 also looks like the IS! The first pics I seen with autospies didn't convince me enough, but the ones you took changed my mind a whole lot, especially seeing it in black with the 18's....SPEECHLESS!

No newer LS beats the Gen 1 LS400 for its smashing looks.

I am not sure if I like or dislike the headlights over my 2003. The back end looks prretty much the same but its hard to tell what the exposed pipes look like. Tail lights don't really matter to me since it appears only the clear strip is different. I'll have to see for myself I guess.

I am sure of this, the 6 speed is something I wish I would have waited for. Everything else technically is the same as far as I know.

... In your opinion

I think the 2nd gen LS looks better then the first before the completely revamp in 2001. Of course the 3rd gen is better looking IMHO. This is a '04 minor change like the one that happened in '96. I am sure the next complete revamp will blow my '03 and this '04 away if Lexus follows their past success.

I love this car now. WOw. THe 18" 5 spokes are part of a new sport package. Wow, it should be faster with the 6 speed auto now!Actually 98.

I really, really like the new nose .
Top Job Lexus!!

Lvangundy, great find! I PM'ed our own auto news guy brendanlim about your find. I assume he’ll contact you directly if he wants to use your pics.

Nice recon work!

The wheels are frickin' ugly. This is one area where Lexus can learn from BMW...

USLEX

Totally agree with you. BMW makes some nice wheels. Most likley out-sourced to BBS. I think Toyota and Honda use Enkie.

The picture of the front of the Gray ( silver)LS looks like a pumpkin I once carved and threw it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The side views look to much like a Mercedes............and I don't like that............I want to see a LEXUS!!!

hey thats tight i really like that. i especially like the wheels they got on it. looks like the ones from the Linclon LS model. clear taillamps on that car is really tight. to me it kinda looks like the Acura RL from back

Great Tail lights and trunk......now its more like European Style. Hope they put more torque on it.

nice improvements
the car flows better from front to back.
this is the car they should have put out 2 years ago.

I think this car looks better, headlights look more like frog eyes, but that's cool. And it's about time that the LS430 got the projector headlights, which are superb in light output compared to reflective lighting... The car looks better in my opinion and has more goodies like the backup camera, 6speed auto, and the adaptive headlights. The new wheels, the rear seat vanity mirrors, knee air bags, satelite radio, and smart key are all nice as well.

Just my opinion, and as a comparison for features, I compared to my Dad's 2002 Ultra LS430
