LOL That was funny. I remember a long time ago when Lexus first came out BMW, Mercedes and other car manufacturers bought an LS and took it apart, part by part to study how Lexus built their cars. I'm assuming when the next LS 460 comes out I hope it's like 1990 all over again.

LOL, no it doesn't. Lexus' execution got it just right, so-much-so, it shares little-to-any resemblance to that disaster.

Of course you're dealing with a Lexus crowd here so expect answers like that. In reality car manufacturers follow a general theme which fits the generation the car is introduced to.
That's primarily why you see some similarities.

Make no mistake though, the LS will be like no other car already on the market when it's introduced at the auto show circuit the beginning of next yr.

I agree with you genearch.
It doesn't bother me b/c I like the 7 also. My brother in law bought one and I love the way it drives
I just hope that it drives as nice as the 7.

Yeah, those other 2 guys sure stand out from the crowd huh?

Nice photoshop

The LF-sh probably has already been drafted & designed before the facelifted 7 series was unveiled a few months ago though, no?

MeanLex, Put your glasses on and read the thread title, then take a look at the photo! Save your negative posting attitude for BMW Forum.
