I will post more tonight...im tired right now..i have tons more pics. Let me just say as well that the new camry is gorgeous in person. The car looks incredible in person particularly the front..the lines and curvature and head headlights are remarkably designed and built...and it looks very beautiful. That color is flint mica by the way..which makes the car look even more gorgeous.

The Camry has a striking resemblence to the LS.
Good job on both. The LS headlight looks sexy and boy is that a long wheelbase!

Thanks, GS...great job. You must not only be tired but have sore feet as well.....that is always a problem for me standing on them all day long at car shows. Fortunately the mild winter this year ( by Michigan standards) helped a lot of people get in and out of the Detroit area easily.
I see that they had not only a silver but a gray LS as well...the "Flint Mica" you mentioned. I can just imagine what the LS will look like in that gorgeous Matador red color if they offer it. A whole thread was done here on CL about the the LS press conference at the Detroit show and reaction to the new LS......you might want to check it out .

Hopefully those cars will be here in D.C. next week for the first Class-A Washington Auto Show on the 24th ( formerly we were a Class B show ) where me and Incendiary ( and maybe some other local CL members ) will see them. Incendiary has a digital camera and takes good pictures.

Well, get some rest, a good meal, and a good night's sleep. Don't worry about us. Yes, we're waiting for the rest of the pictures........but your rest comes first. We can wait.

While I agree with you that the Matador Red is a gorgeous paint, and I love it on the IS350/GS430/SC430, I have seen them all in person However, I don't think it will work as well on the big LS, it might be better with a slightly deeper, classier candy apple or maroon color. The Matador Red has an orange hue to it under bright sunlight & might be a little too sporty for the LS460 IMHO.
