Default Not sure if this was posted. NEW LS460 SPOTTED PIC

A guy on another forum posted this. It was clearly the LS460 he said he was able to tell through the tape. Looks very much like our Camry from the angle the pics were taken.

ah very nice, obviously it's a LS460, even if it's debadged

i guess i am one of the weird ones. i heard a lot of people telling me the camry taillights look a lot like the LS ones, but having seeing both in person, i just can't to see why. i don't think they look alike and the LS ones look so much better. my wife thinks the same too

Nice picture of the LS 460 in the real world driving arena. Can't wait til it's officially out and about here in Southern California. I'm sure there are going to be tons of LS's here...

or it could be truffle mica ? I think SGM should be a little darker than shown in the pic . . .

Nice. But it shows the wheel offsets are still too far into the body which detracts from its looks. I wish Lexus would do better fitments.

Thats definitely not truffle mica..truffle is more brownish hue cuz iv seen it in person..this has zero indication of any brown hue even under the lighting in the picture. Thats definitely smoky granite. I could be wrong, but i dont think its any other color besides that.

Nice find g35_tx

I don't know, that rear end is pretty hard to mistaken it for a camry. The camry's taillights are pretty protruding and can't forget those exhausts cover too

Anybody see where those tire marks lead to?

What does that mean, BMW?
