What are the main differences from the 2003 LS and the 2004 LS?

I sometimes get from people that the car does not really fit my age(early 20's), they consider it to be a older mans car the way it is right now. But its honestly the best car I've ever had, I barely drive my BMW anymore which is always a attention getter the way I have it modded. The build quality is so high on this car, its a absolute joy to drive. And honestly 90% of the people who ride in my car are blown away with "features" they have never seen in this "obsolete" car. The most important thing to me in a car is reliability and comfort. I've taken the car on 4 trips 7 hours each way within the last 2 months with no issues.

The biggest thing going for the LS is comfort and reliability. Car's don't really get "obsolete" we just have better options.

I take a lot of long drives for work and LS does just fine. Still miss my 535 which is far superior in every aspect(the ride, handling, look, feel, sound system, leather, seats, climate control, speed.........) except for reliability(maybe, didn't really have much issues with the 535).....can't have everything I guess. My best lexus out of the current 3 I own is still the 97 LX450, it has the most character because it's a rebadged land cruiser. Maybe when the LS get a little high on miles I might go back to the another 5 series.......they sure spoil it for just about all other cars.
