Exactly what I thought - "is that a Ford Fusion or Five-hundred grill?" It also kinda looks like the new Chevy Monte Carlo Grill. UGH!

Also that Huge L in the grill looks terrible. Just a tad too big. I like the L on the front of my 460 (without laser cruise control). The LS460L's with the laser cruise is almost too big now!

i don't know if any of you read the august issue of the VIPCAR magazine. it has more info about the new facelift ls460/600hl. those look like some screen capture / camera picture so i kind of give more credit in any case, sorry i didn't buy the mag (those 2 pages are probably the only interesting thing in that issue), but here's what i see

- center top vents change, the center clock area becomes silver in color
- the RSES location changed from roof to center behind the center armrest
- foglight change to something similar to the first post
- grille actually still looks like the current one, no change (i hope so!!!!)
- turn signal mirror
- dash cluster completely changed, similar to that of the s class (maybe only on 600hl coz' that's what it shows with battery setting)

again, not sure how much of this is true, but saw those pictures and want to share

This grill is not nearly as bad as what they did with the lower part of the bumper IMO

Not sure why... but I started thinking about Venza when I saw the post. Guess it was the more substantial grill used on both cars.
