IT LOOKS like a Honda!

This car is getting uglier and uglier! For me? the most elegant LS is the 99-2000, followed by the 04-06. Sorry if this is a repost.

Yeah it DOES look like a Honda! Personally I like the 04-06 then the 98's, Dont like the exterior (rear) of the 460, looks like a Camry on roids. No offense just MO

Yeah,I'm not a fan of that. The current range doesn't do much for me,and if the new models are in the same direction,I doubt I'll like them any better.

Im a fan of the 01-03, and definitely not that. I hope it wont look like that, even the 460 is a step down i feel.

Yeah it reminds me of a accord/rl in one. But I can't judge it to I see one in person.

The rendering is as bad as the spelling.

The truely unique looking LS models was the LS400 and LS430. These looked like nothing else in the company. The new 460, while it is a very nice car, does scream camary to me. The next gen LS will hopefully look a bit more unique.

EDIT: I call bs on the drawing as well. Waiting for actual spy photos of the prototype...

The LS460 looks like an LS to me and the best-looking one so far.
