A Rose Between TWO Thorns?

It is photos like that that make me sure that the LS400 Mk4 was the ultimate look in the LS range (if not the full Lexus range).

Oh no, not at all. The MK3 is by far the better looking car

Having owned both I could NOT possibly comment!

Also owned both, and the Mk3 had its style.  

However I do like the rear end of a 460 over the 430 or 400 - though a 400 with a 460 rear would look a little odd.

Now if the LS400 was between (say) the new Lotus EV hypercar I think it would still be the rose between the £££££

As they say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ---- get it out with Optrex"

Look at the backside on that lads! 

 

That is really sexy!

 

Look at those child-bearing hips from the rear!

That reminds me of this picture I posted nearly 10 years ago commenting on the fine rear end of my MK2

I think the Mk IV has more "booty"

True, and I'm bound to say this but the 430 has even more!

One is encouraged to display one`s heritage or favourite.

Mk2 looks prim and proper and for sure Mk4 has more booty.

Maybe there should be a web site called Beauty for Booty - for cars not real derriers!!

Fact is, styling went wrong after the Mk2.  Even today Mercs etc, have restored the side crease.  The Mk3 I personally felt was the worst offender of style. That front Wing just looks slab like. The Mk 4 rectified this somewhat.  Sincere apologies to all I offend.  Missing my Lexus as this Corolla is OK but just doesn't do it for me. (Steering Wheel up/down but doesn't telescope which is tiring for the Arms and on electric Power Steering - something I didn't even know existed - Doh!)  Don't know why I didn't think of another Lexus? Probably because there were non around in North Essex and was restricted by Covid in travelling.     Looking increasingly like my Mk2 will be in France for a long time, with the extra problems an off road car gets when exposed to the elements. Jst replaced three Calipers on tis Corolla.  Jap Cars and Calipers are a common problem.  No Doors as such on my Garage.

Hmm, I quite like the MK3, although by the time I got to own the MK4 I thought everything had been perfected.
