Revealing the new LS on Facebook has to be one of the stupidest auto marketing approaches I've ever seen.

What is Toyota going for...the luxury car car for well-healded Facebookers? Maybe wealthy people will 'like' it...good grief.

it looks the same as the GS ... whats the point of getting the LS then  ???

LS should look more mature and elegant IMO.... I still like the front end of the 1998 to 2000 year model most....

They are clearly adopting the "Different Lengths of Sausage" strategy that BMW and Audi are known for.  All models essentially look the same, just different sizes.

Not sure that I agree with that at all...

That being said, it's not horrible looking.  And they are going to have an F-Sport and an LS-F version (a 650HP version was being tested).

One of the rare occasions when shrinkage is entirely appropriate.

I don't think it looks that bad at all. This is the one segment where conservative and austere design is the norm (and sells) so I think this LS slots in here just fine. Looking forward to seeing the interior.

Here's one more LS pic...  ;D

Hey rrocket, can you post some bigger pictures 'cause I can't tell if those tires are Hercules?

Otherwise the car looks great, the best looking Lexury ever. I like it.
