Oh look!!... $2.87 for premium gas... $0.02 cheaper than in San Francisco.

Fun fun fun

Where would that fit in Toyota Lineup? Toyota just got the new Avalon, and Lexus has all their vehicles. Perhaps an LS replacement?

That looks hot.

It has a Lexus badge on the steering wheel. The woman also stated they are testing it for an upcoming lexus model.

Where would it fit in the line up?!

Looks LS-sized.

From what I understand, it's too small to be an LS. On top of that, the next gen. LS is going to offer two wheelbase versions. Short and long wheelbases.

Yeah I don't think so.

I think it looks a bit aged already.. Especially from the A-pillar back.

AdmiralViscen · 04-18-2005, 11:39 PM

It looks just like the current LS. A good-looking car, but not hot, and not fresh. The brake lights on this one look like a pinched ass instead of a Benz knockoff, though. Pretty boring overall.

I think it's pretty aggressive for a luxury sedan. Love it.

AdmiralViscen · 04-19-2005, 12:57 AM

Of course you do.

It's not aggressive. It's very vanilla.

LAChevy24 · 04-19-2005, 01:21 AM

No, it is aggressive. May not be what you guys are used to, but it is. One of the more aggressive luxury cars Toyota has styled. I'm glad Toyota is bringing it over here. I wanted them too since I first saw it back in 2003.
