Default 2010 Sport version Photos

Was in the Palm Beach dealer and saw this car today. Very nice looking. Attached photos. Would have preferred to have seen a darker headliner used other than the standard gray. Still need to see vehicle outside as well.

Thx for the pics!!! The LS 460 Sport is more than a visual upgrade, the reviews of its enhanced performance have been good so far, see:

Thank you for those pics - I'll be ordering a sport edition next year. I usually find silver rather boring on most vehicles, but that may very well be the color of my next LS460 - that looks great!

Lexus of Palm Beach is a beautiful dealership. I was fortunate to visit their facility when I was in town for the LFA Event @ Homestead back in October.

As for the LS460 Sport. I really think Lexus is slowly getting the bigger picture and offering more sport in their line up. The LS460 Sport is a pleasure to drive. The 8 speed direct shift trans from the ISF and paddle shifters, the sport tuned air suspension and the brakes are key to this sport model.

I second the motion. I like my stock 18's better and that's not saying much.

Went back over the the dealership today to see the black one the manager was driving... whoa! Talk about brake dust! Is it just the Brembo brakes or all of these cars... can't imagine cleaning those wheels with all that dust. Also, did not care for the interior now that I got a chance to see it outside in real light. Think they could have done away with the saddle color coming thru the perferations in the seats, and it really does all clash with the gray pillars and headliners. You know, all this stuff is simple to figure out and design...

The request for black headliner is indeed a common theme with these dark leather interiors...as for the stitching color, I agree that it would look more harmonious with it being black, but part of the trend now with Lexus is differentiation with unique thread colors (e.g. IS-F). But yes, the saddle/black theme will not be to everyone's taste, I would like to see them offer more color choices, maybe through special order.
