I know someone posted a thread asking which version 4th gen LS they liked the best but I find it easier to see the results of all the members opinions in a poll. It just makes it easier to get a quick idea vs reading every thread. Of course feel free to post your reasons why in detail in a reply.

So which 4th gen LS is your favorite.

07-09
10-12
13-16

I answered '13-'16 because I think the '13+ interior is just a quantum leap over the previous ones, particularly the dash. They finally got rid of that ugly, cheap-looking sparkly gray plastic that afflicts the '07-'09 and '10-'12 center stack, as well as the '90s clock and climate displays.

But I prefer the exterior styling of the '07-'09. It's the purest, cleanest expression of the concept.

I do very much like the dash of the 13+ and the tail lights even...but still favor the 07-09 exterior overall.

The 07-09 is more classy. I really get this feeling every time I sit in my alabaster interior with the dark brown ash burl.

Everybody is just going to vote for what they have lol

I voted for 10-12, simply because I still can't get past the ugly spindle grill. But hey, I said that about the Audi's when they came out with their new grill design, and now I like it.

I voted for what I want! Always what I don't have

Can't agree more on the interior.

With respect to the spindle grill, I think the LS is one of the best implementations. (The LX and GX are the worst IMHO)

'10 thru '12. Slightly enhanced and updated. Turn signal side mirrors.

i really like the 10-12 headlights but the 07-09 tails look the best on the first couple of years but as far as what i would like is 13-16.... can we do the best of everything.. still voting for what i have lol..

'10-12 b/c yeah like someone else said, I'm biased lol. I chose it b/c I really do enjoy the looks of the original (has a real nice design), but has all the benefits of having small tweaks and adjustments over time. I actually picked out a '12 based on the strong recommendation from everyone on here for that model yr, and so far I have been nothing but thrilled with it. I too think the interior is much nicer for the '13+, and like the rear/tail lights more (those '10-12 tails are probably the worst part with that weird non-LED amber strip going through), but really have not warmed up to the grille design yet. Also, while I'm nitpicking, I'm not really not a fan of the base wheels the '10-12s came with (which is what I have), it looks boring compared to the 07-09s IMO and has less depth/dimension compared to the other standard 18s. All personal preference/taste I suppose.

I see you have an LS460 now. Congrats on the upgrade. I don't see too many people our age with LS460's.

I really like all of the versions of the LS460 to be honest. I've driven an 08 and thought it was a great looking car inside and out. My ideal LS460 would be a 2012 with the 2013 front end. I voted 2010-2012 but I would be happy with any year to be honest.

I like em all!

Thank you very much! I am glad to see you're still doing great things with your 430, your entire collection is sweet! Yes the age thing is there and always will be (at least for my next several decades lol). Not too many of us LS owners in our mid-20s. The more I drive this car, the more I appreciate how good it is, and how impressive the engineering and build quality is. Makes me realize I need to work hard so I can continue to have these flagships!

Cheers and happy new years!

I voted for the 2010 - 2012 refresh for some strange reason, LOL. Both the exterior and interior in my car look great to me. I haven't spent enough time in a 2013+ LS460 to appreciate the interior. Didn't they replace the CD/DVD changer with a single disc player? I use the ML changer frequently, and the sound is louder than Bluetooth Streaming from my Android smartphone or when using my iPad and a compatible USB cable,
