I took a picture og my 98 and turned it into a drawing. Personally I think there going to Sporty. I saw stick with the classic LS lines.

I also Mirrord the picture so it in the same angle, no my car is not a right hand drive.

IMHO the new Accord looks a lot like this sketch. I think this sketch might be slightly modified new Accord with larger grill, headlights and bumper lights added.

Thanks for the picture. It's truly worth a thousand words. Not all of mine would be nice for this 2004 redesign. Elements of the body are aggressive like the front bumper and lower fogs, but overall I'll stand behind the statement it appears to be a "us too" redesign. Parts look like the new Honda Accord, BMW 5xx, Jaguar and even Maybach, it's hard to even see the traditional LS style outside. Let's see if the inside might be a little more LSimilar.

That looks more like the Audi TT.

didn't see that at first but now that you pointed it out - it does look like the Audi. wonder why they rounded the back like that? that is what i liked about the lex400 is the square back.

i bet it is still one hell of a ride though

That pic looks a lot like the new Audi A8, especially the front spoiler and the wheels.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Did somebody photochop a Lexus grille onto a pic of the new A8?

white one = photoshop.

It has to be - Lexus has never made a car that looks anything like a VW/Audi.

Compare the two pictures side by side, the panel lengths are really close.

im not too sure about the photoshop idea I admit its damn close, but it is from a mag and some of the relections look too real to be photoshopped, but i have a hard time telling the difference on some photoshopped cars posted here as well. But why would they compare a Audi to a Merc. Lex and Merc are usually what the comparison is and now Audi squares off with BMW
