Looking at Rear Ends. I can’t Help it! Some are Really Nice.

I’ve been noticing Rear Ends more lately. For the past few years, I’ve been a Cadillac man. But, it’s pretty obvious that the new DTS has a REALLY UGLY Rear End! Chopped off .. stubby!

On the other hand, the new 460’s have a really GREAT looking rear end!

I’d call their smooth, sloping styling, the “rear end wave of the future.” The look that will be coming (if not already here) on most of the cars in years to come.

Indeed .. rear ends are important. (Altho, of course, I’m a leg man, too.)

^^^LOL...basically. I love the way the new LS looks both inside and out. The integrated tailpipes is a nice touch along with the other chrome trimmings. Very classy.

all their rear ends are starting to look a little generic to me. Actually, all of their cars are starting to look too similar.

On paper, it looks similar to the Odyssey, which is not a bad thing, but as this photo and others show, the rear of the LS is actually quite unique in how sculpted, curved it is...

I like the taillights and bumper slope of the S-Class, but the bumper+exhaust of the LS is very distinctive and brawny.

I really like the rear end, especially the muffler. *drools* Lexus should have the similar mufflers on all their cars and suvs
