instead of driving maybachs in apprentice...they will drive this now

since Apprentice 6 is in LA...i bet anything that Lexus will have them come up with a marketing campaign or something for this car, if not that then toyota will

hopefully

The 07 LS looks very good from this Lexus pressroom photo. I am loving the new LS. The whole Lexus line up is getting better and better. Oh my.

From the pictures, it also has quad zone temperature controls and POWER rear-side sunshades. Very nice. Add in aux video support and a 115V power plug and it's a mobile office. I didn't see any mention of these items in the press release.

Yes that's the best angle so far. The side profile is pretty good too (& without the 5 series's fugly "flame" surfaces). What doesn't look too attractive is the straight front view to me. Not crazy about the tail lights either.

I have looked at all the pics,and thanks for those posting them.

I still cannot like the exterior. The front is soooo boring. The side of the long wheelbase looks very similar to the 745

the technology seems amazing, but i wonder how it drives. will it handle better?

this said, the LS has definitiely shown some new innovative technology that owners of mb's and bmw's cannot say they 'copied'.

the interior looks nice, but the center console seems very similar to the current generation. i wish it was a little more different.

Its an LS still, not a Ferrari, its not going to be a style leader from an exterior standpoint. I also am not floored with the exterior but its certainly sportier than before and not ugly.

BTW anyone has access to those hi-res pics?
EDIT: Oh I see Mikey has already got his hands on them pics.
yep, exactly my thoughts.

And the engine, transmission? Looks like BMW owners will, once again, tell us just to wait for for few more years until............. Cant wait to see GS460.
