Default A few not so great (long distance) pictures of 2007 LS

i went to Lexus HQ today and there weren't any cars in the main parking lot of Lexus, so behind the building i looked and there was a gold 2007 Lexus LS...i tried taking pictures while driving, but i couldn't get close enough...here is all i have

they are not great, but they're something

Hmm... it doesn't seem to stand out among the other cars especially in the third picture. It just blends in with the Camry XLE and 1IS.

Very cool! I've been thinking of doing this myself. Thx!

Incidentally, recently I stopped by a Japanese bookstore and the latest issue of 'VIP Style' had the LS 460 on the cover, and a 4-5 page spread on the car!

Of course the pictures don't capture the car perfectly, but I think in person and in non-spyshot photos, the grille etc and the coloring will make the LS 460 stand out...anywhere.

The new LS, specially the front end, does not seem to look as impressive in light colors. This is probably my least favorite color I've seen on the LS460 to date, followed by the white one shown in an earlier thread.

This color makes me think of a Chardonnay Pearl, or some other tannish combination...

not a fan of that colour. looks better on the Audi A8. If and when I get the LS, silver is the colour I am so choosing.

I saw an Audi A8L in champagne color & it looks stunning.
Never liked the similar gold color on the LS430, & from the pics, it won't look good on the new LS.

I'm not feeling it. Granted the car is in Gold, which I don't like, especially on luxury cars. But the front design is very 'mainstream.' It's not easily distingiushable in a parking lot. I think the back end and side profile are great. The back is easily the best in it's class. The side profile seems sportier than the S, IMO. But the front will keep me away from it. I think a lot has to do with the shape of the headlights. They don't seem agressive. The design of the headlights were more agressive on a 98-00 LS or the refreshed 430.

I thought driving the LS or any of the other flagship sedans is supposed to add to your age anyway
