That is one ugly interior. It looks like a cheap RV to me. Whoever designed that needs to go back to school!

Earl-

Yeah, the interior could be a bit more contemporary. I don't understand why they didn't go safe and use either black or white as the car color too.

Default Lex Limo

You guys are being charitable, all it needs is some red lights and it could pass for a Nevada #@*% house.

I agree, they could of done a better job. That is one way to really mess up a Lexus.

that's a photoshopped lexus, usually the GS is used for the limo version

and the interior is obviously from an SUV, and not a sedan....

(exterior pic)
look at the crappy chop on the doors and center

(interior pic)
and where do you see a door on the outside of the car like that one on the right there?






edit: the jeep limo on the same page is also a chop

I agree that the LS is most likely a chop. If it isn't it's a horrible picture. I wasn't going to saying anything before because I thought it wasn't worth talking about since the interior picture was aweful!

Now if the Jeep is a chop it's a damn good one. I can only see one area that doesn't look right...the top middle or the car. If you think about it a little why would a Jeep limo have 3 doors on one side? Good eye EGainer .

Actually, the Jeep is a real limo. There is a company in Nevada that makes them. I see
them in Dupont Registry all the time. The LS on the other hand is a photochop.

yea i saw through the windows, how each part was different. but i was wondering why you would need so many doors, all facing the same direction, on one side....
