Look at this picture of the 2008 GS, several things are incorrect


Some things I noticed is
-The seats still have the piping like the 07
-The Gas filler release is still on the drop down
-The "SRS AIRBAG" on the passenger side of the dash pad is like the 07 model
-The clock/temperature look to be blue instead of green

 

Good eye....the pic just makes me so happy that I will not be getting that butt ugly steering wheel when I buy a used 07. Damn that thing is u g l y

 

eagle eye. and it's still got the casette deck. good to know some things never change.

 

yeah.....& not to mention who ever is driving this thing is rollin' like a G!!! ive never had the seats sooooo far back that i can feel the rear passenger airvent!!!

 

Great catch, I wish the gas paddle will be one the floor, just like those in the BMW and Benz that gives it a better feel on my point of view.

 

And gas paddle IS on the floor...

 

I've mentioned that since day 1 of the refreshened model, Lexus didn't even take the time to take NEW pics, they just photoshopped the old ones.

 

Even worse, the Canadian www.lexus.ca site has all 2007 pictures. Not even an attempt to "photoshop" 2008 changes overlayed onto 2007 pictures.

 

check out the brochures from 2007 and 2008, every single pictures are the same , just all of the 2008 pictures are photoshopped.

they did a great job despite the few obvious mistakes.

 

You would think it would be easier just to snap a few new pictures, rather then go through the trouble to photoshop.

 

Actually if you see the whole production and what it actually takes to do a photoshoot for brochures and print media for any car company including Lexus, it's not as easy or as inexpensive as most think. PS'ing current material is a fraction of the cost. Sending out a new photo agency, graphics designer, renting out a facility (i.e. blocking off/renting a venue), and paying for everyone's time including the security guards and catering companies during the whole shoot...it adds up.

 

^^^ I agree and have always wondered if that model vehicle depicted in the above picture even has a roof on it given the distance from the camera to the vehicle.

 

They must have hired someone to photograph the parts they photoshopped though!
The idea of an original roofless model makes sense and could explain why they would take this route.

 

Nerd Alert!!!!
