Dad wants to trade the E93 335i for a Limited Wald Lexus LS460L...

Revlis · 05-17-2008, 12:05 PM

Looks like a Japanese car all dressed up for Halloween, trying really hard to look properly German...

Your Dad is being sold a bill of goods, they've got a 460 on the lot they need to sell and there you go. Salesmen will tell you anything if they think it will help make the sale. They are going to have a hell of a time selling a pre-ghetto'd 460 so they are going to be working extra hard.

WALD Lexus LS460 tuning program now available stateside!

Jonari is excited to announce that WALD's flagship tuning program for the Lexus LS460 is now available stateside. Leading Japan's Lexus tuning culture, WALD International has developed two exterior programs for this vehicle. Version 1 has a sleek but edgy styling, while version 2 has a clean, classy and hints from WALD's previous Executive Line aero packages.

Exterior parts include: Front apron, side skirts (w/chrome fin covers), rear apron, trunk wing, roof wing, front bumper grill inserts and sport fenders.

It's not a limited production tuner car really, just a body kit and some minor tweaks. If Dad is after something really special he should Head over to Mercedes and check out an AMG. But if Pops loves it then have at it...

A quick Google search for Wald lexus 460 is a good thing... It's interesting.

Early mid-life crisis?

Not impressed at all. Looks ghetto. The Lexus is ugly no matter what you do to it.

http://www.nihoncar.com/en/news-522-...rnational.html

these pictures honestly dont do the car justice...i believe the manhattan lexus dealership added their own touches to the car...but regardless, it was nice!

sorry man, but that car is nasty looking. wheels are nice though!!!!

BMWFM · 05-17-2008, 08:11 PM

Buy a Bentley or a Maserati (e.g. quattroporte), potentially high end Jaguar or MB AMG. IMHO, this Lexus pretends to be something it is not. To each his own though.

i saw this car in person at the irvine spectrum wow wow wo that thing is so sick pics it looks whatever go see this car in person and tell me u dont like it.

jonerik26 · 05-17-2008, 11:04 PM

looks ok

yoyeewee · 05-17-2008, 11:35 PM

WOW! That Lexus is badass. Although the Lexus LS series has been typically labeled as an old man's car, this one is pretty pimp. If I have the money, I'd get it. I'd take it over a 7 series and/or a S-Class. The 7 series is due for a new model change and the S-Class is friggin' ugly.

dad has an AMG s55 and an 08 LX570...we both know that you can get the body kit from wald, but lexus of manhattan and wald apparently teamed up and customized the car from the suspension to the interior...here, take a look..

i never said it was a limited production car, but only stated that there are only 2 of its kind....but according to this picture, even thats wrong..this is the ONLY car of its kind...

typeszh · 05-22-2008, 07:28 PM

I rather take a stock LS460. I think the stock ones look pretty good.

TiAg335i · 05-22-2008, 07:29 PM

All you guys with your elitist BMW attitudes can shove it. This model Lexus is among the finest cars in the world...Not only is the exterior stunning, the interior is probably the icing on the cake.

david @ eas · 05-22-2008, 07:41 PM

Even though I don't like Lexus at all, that doesn't look 1/2 bad!

$109K is not bad for a base 460L and that raft of doo-dads; what is that side spear over the pseudo vents supposed to be, anyway? Why not keep the Bimmer and buy the Lexus. Different moods, different rides.

What are you waiting for? That Lex is sick!

vbb · 05-22-2008, 09:43 PM

I love BMW as much as the next guy, but that Lexus looks great, IMO. I'd definitely drive it (although I suspect it's going to cost twice as much as your dad's 335i E93).
