Glad you guys like it!!! I am sooo wanting to see this car soon! I hope it will make it to SoCal dealerships soon, considering the preview in PA yesterday.

Very cool video. At roughly $90K it's cheaper than a V12 S Class or a V12 7 Series. We'll also have to wait one year before the 600hL arrives. I can't wait and I look forward to it's arrival here in the U.S.

i have to say that this is a Beautiful car. I don't think that it has quite the look of the previous model tho. The last model had a very sleek look to it. Definatly a nice car and still my favorite. But not to knock this one, This is a very nice car and the interior seems to be inproved quite a bit.

hehe i might differ a bit. while i love the current ls430 (especially the 04+. everyone here knows that), i think the ls460 looks far better. younger, smoother, more aggressive, yet classy with a sense of sportiness.

i agree with you on that one, although the current 04+ LS430 look good as hell in black with the sport 18" on, this new one is hott, i to wondered hoe Lexus would improve on an already beautiful interior and make it more beautiful, somehow Lexus pulled it off, and they did a tereffic job at it

you sure that's rses on swb? i thought it's only for ls460l (not available in japan) and 600hl. not sure you can work the foot rest anyway on swb. the pics show a white ls460 and also a silve ls600hl

so there is only one memory setting for the rear seat? what is the c for? clear?

You might be right. Because the pics showed exterior shots of a white LS 460 and dark colored LS 600h L, I thought there were only 2 cars...

But actually the 'white' leather interior is out of a dark colored car...

And yet the 'black' leather interior clearly belongs to the dark colored LS 600h L...

So I'm guessing there were 3 cars (?), and the 40 pics here don't show the interior of the white 460, as the 'white' interior comes from a dark colored car.

So here is the pic: it looks like SWB to me, but I'm not sure. Evidently there is no massage package on this model.

I can see a white LS460 with a light interior, but the light interior shown belongs to a dark blue car, & the dark interior shown with the RSES belongs to the silver LS600hL. So there are at least three cars in those pics.

Yes, there's a blue SWB car whose exterior is never shown. But can someone tell me what's on the ceiling if it's not an RSES? It really does look like an un-flipped-down RSES to me.



BTW, thanks to h2o_247 for the great find!
