SPIED: The New Lexus LS Gets Caught On The Street For The FIRST Time

Though  many folks would say "So, what? We've seen this car already," you have to realize one big thing. Cars always appear different when they're actually on the street. When any vehicle makes a major debut it's usually under harsh lighting and surrounded by booth models, a display or something that doesn't put the vehicle into the real-world context.

That said, this was just captured yesterday roaming around SoCal bearing Distributor plates.

Given that the license plate surround says VIP Auto Salon, who specializes in taking Toyota Motor Sales products and giving them a complete style makeover, you've likely seen their LS460 before, we're going to speculate that this vehicle was just received and it VIP will likely be preparing something for the upcoming auto show circuit.

Can anyone say, SEMA 2012?

Looks fantastic, modern and sharp. Like the new front end styling and interior. Tail lights could have been better.

Toyota need to bring this cars to the U.S. market and sell it here. Price it right and it will sell like hot cake. And they need to copy right this design before Hyundai and Kia decided to steal their design.
