Default LS430 Wagon???

Is there an LS430 wagon that just came out that I don't know about? I was making an IHOP run this morning and saw what looked like an LS430 wagon driving down the opposite side of the road. I had to do a doubletake to make sure so I checked the back and it had LS430 rear taillights as well. I was thinking about bustin' a U and following the car just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, but unfortunately my stomach was calling. Could it have been a wagon with LS430 headlight/tailight conversions? Hm...maybe I was just trippin'?

Limo?

There's a stretch GS I see around the south bay all the time. A 'Lexus limousine' company owns it. Maybe they have an LS.

I have a feeling you probably saw a Benz E class wagon. The tail light shape is almost identical to the LS430.

It wasn't a limo for sure. The taillights on the E class benz are similar, but the headlights aren't. I guess I'll just have to wait till I see the same car around to make sure.

Can anyone do a photoshop just to give a lil' better idea of how it will look?

BTW, I think the new E class wagon looks awful too. Really doesn't match the good looking front end.
