I think the black bar looks better than a body colored, especially on the F-sport.

yes... keep in mind both LS's have dark color for the bar, not body colored like GS... looks a lot better too.

so apparently production models have same stance as the show one... slow clap for Lexus?

It is interesting how many people are quick to point out what they think will be the downfall of new model, and when it proves wrong, they just move to something else :-).

So many people criticized Lexus for raised stance, so lets give it to Lexus now :P
(i love raised stance though, bad for me )

The internet fanboys and the press alike sit around praising German design and putting down Lexus but damn the bodywork in this LS is exemplary. Puts the A8 to shame.

A4, A6, A8 ALL look alike. Too much alike IMO. The internet is a weird place. The only car that looks appealing in this segment is the new LS and the Jag XJ. That's just my taste of course. The wheels are still too small though, but loving the white F-Sport!

Agree. That white FSport looks amazing. Never liked white cars before but this may be it for me...

If anyone sees a midnight blue or dark green one, please post pix.

Actually IMO I think the black bumper cross bar would look much better painted on the F-Sport and particularly on the other LS models!

The new A8 looks completely atrocious except for the inner headlights. When I first saw it I could not believe this "new" design came from the same folks who gave us the R8 and A7 and S5. This A8 looks like it's from 1996. Actually the original first generation A8 looks a heck of a lot better than this.

Couple of friends who are Audi fans agree with me.

The '13 LS is a huge improvement from the previous but I'm not sure it will sway enough people away from the long-held recognition of the 7er and S-Klasse, especially with the side view pretty much the same as the old model.
