New LS 460 L site
#16
I have to wax poetic about this image....first of all, what a fascinating combination of door trim and rear seat. The black/walnut/ecru looks very nice, IMO. And that is the best shot of the rear seat package, center wood trim to date. The wood panels are as luscious as chocolate and seem so smooth and refined.
Also despite their placement, the 2 interior pics do not match as the front seat image shows all light-colored doors, absent the black panel with the door handle. So it appears this image is the new one, the front seat image is the same as previously released ones...and no clear indication of passenger seat memory on the front.
But the back seat looks oh so divine, and I like how it mentions that the rear seat package center table can rotate to either seat.

They should match in the REAL LS 460 L. But on the site, Interior pic #1 shows all cream surrounding the door handle. The black portion is above the wood trim. On the rear door in interior pic #2, black is surrounding the door handle and also present above the wood trim.
It should be consistent, with the area above the wood trim, and below it around the door handle, like this pic shows on BOTH the front and rear doors (you can see the front door, handle area on the far right side of this pic):

That looks like the purple car I saw at the New York show, I think it was a 600, maybe they have different interiors or something, the car on the site is silver...not sure, anyone know what the interior combos are?

I think it's more like "yet another marketing guy who doesn't know what he is writing about".

It's gracenote, this was mentioned by someone on this forum before but I forgot what it was...some sort of audio system function, for sure.
BTW, it still says 'first HD instead of DVD NAVI' but indeed the 370 lb. ft of torque is new.
EDIT: I checked, and gracenote appears to be audio CD data

Thanks enigma,
It's pretty cool. According to their website, it looks like you can use voice command to play songs and playlists and it might also speak the title and artist name as well. Check this out:

Might be a sign of what to expect in the new Lexus'.
Love that navigation screen !
