Default Went to the Philly car show and saw something interesting... (Excuse the camera phone pics)

This is the new Lexus LS460L due out this fall. It is the long wheelbase version. Pretty sharp revision to the old LS430. But do you notice anything interesting about the wheels? Look familiar?

I also got a few pics of the Americanized RS4, S4 seats, plain steering wheel and all. The PZERO label in red is a nice touch on the tires. Another thing funky about it, and maybe I'm just spoiled, is the mirrors. The finish looks cheap. It's just a dull paint.

Despite its being watered down for us (styling-'wise'), I still love the car. I wouldn't get rid of mine for it, but I think Audi did a great job with it.

Default The "Americanization" looks a lot better than the first photos had me believe.

Great pics for a Camera phone too.

Default On the mirror subject...

If my sources are correct (because I inquired about them), they <b>do not</b> fold like our mirrors. I guess you take one hit on them and they break off!

It will be interesting to see if they actually keep these types of non folding mirrors on the cars that come here.
