You had the first 3 or 4 generations off by a bit, hope you don't mind me changing them.

Looks great!

For some reason I think the LS 460 hearkens back to the original more than 3LS did, with the 3LS refreshed lights.

I believe the first generation is 1989 - 1994. The second generation is the 1995 - 2000. The 1999-2000 was a facelift similar to that of the third generation 2004-2006. The third generation is the 2001 - 2006. I think the new one is going to do great. Really remarkable changes...to set new standards in luxury.

Gen I=1990-94
Gen II= 1995-1997
Gen III= 1998-2001
Gen IV= 2001-06
Gen V=2007+

or at least thats the way i understood it. the facelift in 1998 i consider a generation change, ebcause it wasnt just a facelift, there were other changes in the interior as well.

the facelift on 03 was different, as it was ONLY a facelift. i dont consider it a generatiion change.

but thats JMO.

I thought "generation" was based on chassis, not facelifts or interior upgrades ...
