Default Lexus LS460L vs. Mercedes S550 photos (autobild)

Hey CL members, take a look at these pics of the LS460L in europe testing against the S550 by autobild. The LS looks prominent and more masculine than the S550. The 19 inch wheels and euro sport package made it quite close to the S550 in the test though not quite, but still good enough.

IIRC, they don't offer the LS460L in Europe, only the LS460 (at least most of the countries there), & the pics shown are SWB versions for both the Lexus & the Benz.

I have seen the SWB new S class in person a coupe of months ago in Europe too, I have to say both the Lexus & the Benz look better in LWB.

I concur. The LWB versions make them look more dynamic.

Both look handsome and masculine.

I didn't think I'd say it, but the LS looks like it has a stronger presence (sp?) than the S...

So is MB trying to trade fender flares for unreliability? That is what I would call, "butt ugly". But, to each his own.

MB screen looks dinky small compared to the LS one.

On looks - I prefer the LS front and sides to the S class, but I prefer the back of the S to the LS.
