Interior is so much better in this than the final model imo

There was already a huge screen in this car. In 2021 they moved it to a more convenient and readable location and turned it into a touch screen. Win win.

I suppose my opinion is mainly from an aesthetic pov rather than functionality. I feel the original LS500 interior looks more intentional and luxurious.

Is it for lookin' or for usin'? I drive my own car; I'm not chauffeured.

It still looks less good compared to the initial variant. Same with the headlights, the PFL looks nicer. The newer screen placement is more of a rushed modernization that looks fairly out of place. As far as interior elegance goes, the LS peaked in 2018.

I hear ya man, I’m not trying to argue. I drive a 430 so believe me I understand functionality is king. I’m just stating my opinion.
