  • The current Lexus LS has become over-styled and weak. It's forgotten its roots of the elegant and stately design of the original.

Their hard to find in great shape and are definitely unicorns. Car was so ahead of it's time it was mind boggling.

      He complains when each car brand doesn't have its own "design identity," but then when they do come up with a unique design identity, that is special only unto them, that he doesn't agree with he complains about that too.
      So maybe the LS 500 is a little overwatch, looking more like something out of a Japanese anime that a German design studio. Who cares, I like it!

    SketchMonkey, the 1990 LS on the rear pic is actually the second gen from 1998. You can see the difference in the C-pillar from the front pic. Just like the front lights, the rear lights also resembled the S-Class of then.

    The “1991” rear end is not the correct.. The 91 rear end looked way different with the antenna coming out the driver rear quarter panel. That’s how you couldn’t really tell much of a difference because those are both 98 rear ends. Also, The Ls430 facelift in 04 is really more smooth than the 01-03.

    The 1998 facelift wasn't a facelift of the original 1st gen, it was a facelift of the 2nd gen, which started in 1995. it's the same as the 1998 but with a different fascia, and in my opinion it's the best looking one. The 98 redesign looks too modern. I like the 90s style of the 1995.
    EDIT: the 2nd picture (the rear view of the red car) is a 1995 2nd gen, not a 1990 1st gen. They're different, it's actually pretty easy to see the differences.
