LS460: "Meet the world's most high-tech car"
 
This is what was happening in my head when I bought this magazine and was walking to my house. I was dancing on the streets! :D

Zipi-Di-Doo-Daa Zipi-Di HEY!
Muy Oh Muy what a Wonderfull Day!
Plenty of sunshine in my wayy,
Zipi-Di-Do-Da Zipi-Di HEY !

Then I had a “reality check” version :cool:

Zipi-Di-Doo-Daa Zipi-Di HEY!
I flunked my exam Tohooday
BUT I’m fine with that, coz THIS* made my dayy
Zipi-Di-Doo-Daa Zipi-Di HEY!

*Lexus LS460 , there ya go (view from last to first, thats the right order)

I knew the LS460 was going to be on this weeks magazine, and I’ve been waiting for it for 5 days, 5 long days, literally going to every single store to see if they got it, and today… there it was, in the corner, with lights focused on it, all shiny. So I ran in slow motion towards it, and my surrounding turned to an valley full of flowers and green grass, the sky was blue and a happy song was playing in the background, then I grabbed the magazine with my hands from both top edges, and we started turning around and around, looking into each others eyes; then a person/the salesguy interrupts my moment “Sir? Sir!, Hello, excuse me, are you going to buy that?”. Then I realize, FINALLY! I HAVE IT! WOHOO! :woohoo:

said the LS460 had LED headlights :uh:

Autocar magazine, UK. :sad: Sorry the pics didn’t turn out perfect, but at least they’re readable. I was so excited that when I got home, I got the camera & took the picture really fast (I wanted to share those with you guys ASAP). I took me 2 attempts and over 1 hour to post them! If ya’ll want I could get better pictures and post them, but after Friday.

Again, the last pic in this thread is the first one in the magazine. :)

It's Autocar magazine, UK

THANK YOU GSsnarl!!! These scans are great! I hope your exam doesn't cause too much trouble. Sounds like you have a great attitude!

Interesting: 26 mpg!!!

Nothing like the narcotic-like euphoria that the new LS is providing for all of us members!

Great find. Perhaps you can provide the full article; it's a little hard to read the photos... :D

encore888 May 2, 2006 01:37 PM

If GSsnarl doesn't mind, I have stiched the photos together in Photoshop...

Thx to GSsnarl!

If you download these and view as slideshow in 1024x768, it should be very easy to read...although the original scans were fun to read too. (And don't have some of the distortions)

You can get it here. Even some of the Barnes and Nobles carry it.

If you are near any of the Tower Records/Books/Magazines, I think they all carry it.

They will be the first to use LED technology on the head light. It will last longer and use less energy for sure, but I'm' not sure how they did the LED to become bright enough for the driver to see at night.

he was reffering to the fact that it is LS600h that will have LEDs, while LS460 will have hids with AFS.
Decent article...
