Auto Spies World Exclusive: Total body redesign coming for 2004 Lexus LS430
And it's beautiful this time!
Lexus LS430 gets a major design overhaul for 2004
The criticism has finally gotten to them.
We all know the Lexus LS430 is one of the best cars made today…so what’s wrong?
It has an unimaginative, boring, and unimpressive body design.
BUT!!!!
No BUTS!
You know, they know and we know the Lexus designers screwed up this car.
Well, to their credit, they’re embarrassed and they intend to fix one of the few flaws on this car.
Look for a MAJOR redesign of the body for 2004.
The mechanicals are basically the same (there was nothing wrong with them) and there will be no long wheelbase version, but the body has been totally re-skinned.
Our Spies were at their last dealer meeting where they showed pictures of the car.
We were unable to get a copy, but we are able to describe it to you.
The 2004 model resembles the look of the design concepts of the current S-class (see below).
The front headlights are very swoopy like the sketches below.
The sides and rear have also been changed…overall the car is much more modern and classy looking.
In the words of our dealer spy “Now, I would actually buy this car with my own money”.
They also said if you put the S-class, 745 and 2004 LS together, most people would say, the 2004 LS looks the best of the three.
We’re told there will also be material modifications to the interior as well.
Finally, our source told us an all wheel drive option will be available.
