alk3997 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I've read some discussions about a new exterior appearance for the 2004 LS-430, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the interior/exterior changes that can be expected? Most of the details in the article talked about new headlamps and all wheel drive. Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well, I know Lexus. I've heard people spout some pretty grandeouse changes for 2004, but I dont see it happening. Basically what we're going to see is a mid design refresh, similar to the differences between the 97 and 98 LS400s. We may see some engine and drivetrain changes, but they'll be slight. I dont think we'll see AWD as an option next year. So you can probably expect a new front fascia (headlights, grille, bumper, hood) perhaps a rear lamp freshening, probably wont be any sheetmetal changes in the rear. New wheels for sure, 17 inch standard, maybe an 18 inch option. Perhaps a sport package, new seat options, colors and wood choices, nothing more than that. Now, in 2006 the car is slated for a total redesign, there's where you'll see any big engine changes, AWD things of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARKFLC5 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 This is the only news I have. I may be interested in either an '04 myself or a great deal on a White pre-owned '01 - '02 with CA Walnut Wood and Nav: http://www.imakenews.com/autospies/e_artic...le000120640.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
