Default 2007 LS is here! (Kind of)


1 Day at the auto show for inspiration
3 hours in photoshop

I present the 2007 LS.

How did it come out? I think I like it a lot!

What I did:
Take the new IS body and make the hood fatter, modify the current LS grille and paste it on, make headlights stouter, elevate the roofline by making windshield longer, cut and paste modified LS bumper, enlarge (up and down) the bumper, throw it on the new IS background, redo text in upper left, DONE!
(3+ hrs of work, but a good finished product!)

What do you think? I would go but it right now if the LS looked like that! But, I made it that way so my opnino is biased.

Opinions?

FYI. I figured out the text they use is "TW Cen MT"

You need the new HUGE "L" Emblem and a different grill. ANOTHER set of side mirrors please, and a longer faced bumper for starters.

Also, Expect the headlights to be MUCH bigger, like any other flagship sedan.

Your gonna **** a lot of people off with that title

What do u mean by longer faced bumper?

And as for the title, I did say "(kind of)" to make it clear .
BUT.. If it annoys anyone that bad, feel free to have a mod put "My Photoshop" at the end.

How about this..... (The mirrors might leave completely in a future interpretation). I cant find a suitable grille right now either.
New MASSIVE headlights (ala LF-C) and massive L from the LF-C also.

Enjoy!

Yaro1, excellent job!!! I like your first rendition best, only like others have said the Lexus "Circle-L" emblem could be slightly larger (but not too big).

Otherwise, I expect the 2007 LS, if it arrives that year as a new model, to follow the logical progression of the new, sculptural, sexy L-Finesse designs of the IS and GS, although being the flagship it will probably be more "boss" like and slightly more conservative.

The current LS is a grand, handsome, stylish design--I like it a lot.

The future LS may be provocative and sexy yet traditionally refined.

This pic is similar, captures the 'mean, sleek' and intelligent Lexus look of the near future.

Those rear view mirrors do look odd & one of my least favorite parts of the car I hope they change that for the production model . . .

Lexus is really heading into the European direction, its interesting, but I really think that the japanese boxie look is a little nicer than the rounded shaped european body.
