Default SPOTTED LS460 on the 10 EAST in Los Angeles!

So I was fighting my way through heavy LA traffic when this unbadged car caught my attention. I pull up along side it and realized I was looking at the new LS460. I busted out my cell phone and took some pictures of it. Pictures do no justice. It looks awesome in person. I especially like the headlights.

I think you are right...those look like the led headlights.

Nice job with the pics

Strangely spotted the same day of the L.A. Times Highway 1 article on the 460. I don't think it was mere coincidence - manufacturers like doing this kind of stuff, like leaking spy photos on blogs and forums

Those are pretty good pictures for a cell phone. LOL

It looks and smells like a plant, but who cares!!! I love the way it looks in traffic.

The car really is no big secret anymore. We've seen photos of it since earlier this year, and the car is scheduled to come out soon. If it was such a secret, it would still be covered in camo.

Should have followed that car until nightfall to see those headlamps in action.

No better place to test a hybrid than in the middle of an LA traffic jam.

Strange, I think I spotted a ls460 in vegas last week, but I was tripping out and we were in chinatown...it was a tan or maybe white with taped off badges too.. Saw it parked though. I passed it off as a es350

Your pics from a CELL PHONE?

What a GREAT JOB!! Thanks.

You're right! The car DOES look fantastic! I am getting VERY anxious to get my new L.

By the way .. I've asked this before but never gotten an answer: Does anyone know when production ends on the 430s and begins on the 460s?

For Corvette's, we hear a couple of months in advance that (for example) the 06s will stop on August 1 and the 07s will begin on August 2.
