Yeah, I'll be heading to the Detroit Auto Show this weekend and that's one of the cars I want to look at.
It looks alright(style-wise), but the S-class still looks sportier, IMO...but the sweet, 380hp V8 looks tantalizing!

I have to agree with you in the looks department. Performance wise, call me when Lexus offers a 604HP turbo 12.

Boring, just like the rest of Lexus' designs.

Powertrain/internals look awesome (still waiting for that LS600h though  ), but the car's styling is uninspiring. Looks like they pulled the front end off of an Acura RL (except they somehow made it even less sporty), and the way the rear quarter panels meet the trunk is akin to the uglyified, Banglized Bimmer 7-series. I like how they molded the exhaust pipes into the rear, but otherwise the styling is rather boring and Acura-ish. |

Hmmm. Maybe that's why I like it?

I love it! I wish I could afford something like that. I wonder what the MSRP on the "long" version will be.

I have two complaints:
1) I have found perforated leather to be a PITA to keep clean
2) This seems to be becoming more popular- the headliner and A-panel + C-panel interior color is light gray in color for pictures 5 & 6 where the rest of the interior is dark charcoal/gray. I liked it better when manufacturers did them the same color as the rest of the interior.

I would hate to be an automotive designer nowadays because it seems like everyone is just copying off each other. If that car wasn't badged, I would easily think it was a BMW from the back and a MB from the side (the grill on the front gives it away as a Lexus though).

nice car -- it amazes me that other automakers have adopted the BMW-bangle-butt from the 7-series (see 2007 new S-class Benz, also)
