The new LS430 is a sweet car from what I have read about it. I'm not so sure I like what they did with the inside compared to last years model. Of course, I have yet to see it in person so what do I know. I do know that they just released the new GS430 (same car as GS400 but with the bigger engine), and that is the car I want!

It is TOO plain looking...otherwise, its a nice car. Too easy to get bored with it.

Here are some pics.

I'm thinking of the new GS430. My brother is getting tired of waiting for his M5 so he's getting a CLK55. I might take over his spot on the wait list. Ohhhh.... so temping......

Don't think much of the looks. Haven't had time to drive one. None of the Lexuses so far have been comparable to a BMW or MB. I still prefer the 540i 6-speed for the same money.

first thing i saw of it i swore it was last year's mercedes s. hold your finger over the L in the grille and people will think its a mercedes. toyota/lexus doesn't have an original stylist. the tundra looks like the f150, and was going to be called the t150 until ford told them not to do it. i saw a picture of the new sc in playboy, i swear the only way it can look more like a tt from the back is to put four rings on it.

The Lexus LS430 is good...but the Infiniti Q45 will spank it in terms of performance. Plus the Q45 looks better and the interior is just amazing! However since looks are objective we all will have different views.
