Cool LS 460 billboard / NYC exhibit / radio ad...

Here is an LS 460 L billboard I snapped while driving in SoCal the other day:



Also, I found this cool exhibit that took place at NYC's World Financial Center last month:



According to Lexus:
The exhibit, which debuts Monday, October 16 as a multilayered plexiglass sculpture, will evolve each day as sections are removed and placed around the World Financial Center Plaza as stand-alone sculptures. The installation’s intricate pieces were manufactured by Pennsylvania-based Jetstream Manufacturing using a water jet cutting method. The final piece will be removed on Friday, October 20 to coincide with the national launch of the LS 460 and LS 460 L, the long wheel-base model of Lexus’ flagship sedan.

There are more photos here: http://inform-ventures.com/LS460_exh...lery/index.htm

And also I recorded part of an LS 460 radio commercial, with Mr. Lexus speaking...the first 5 seconds or so off, something about going through the ages with different inventions... Will upload...

So why do the wheels in the billboard look bigger than the actual car below it? They're both 7 spoke which I think are 18s.

I already felt that the LS 460s shown at the dealership release event were pretty low...

I meant compared to the LS 430, if you saw the wheel wells the LS 430 seemed to ride higher.

Lexus is sponsoring a gallery on 5th and 40th (NE corner), called 460 degrees of Lexus. If you're in the area, its a nice place to check out during lunch. They also have an LS460l with the executive package on display there.

Lexus is heavily resorting to advertising around the city and there is still just a handful of LS460s on the road. I see billboards on all major highways and at almost every bridge and tunnel entrance. I remember then S550 came out in February, there was just a flood of them on the streets. LS460 is still a no show, disappointing.

Well Lexus is trying to build up buzz for their 'exclusive' and 'rare' product...most of the new LS 460s so far have been spoken for, and there's a limited supply.

I have seen 5 on the road here in SoCal so far.
