Hopefully there's a delete option for it. I don't care how much Mercedes tarted it up, it was originally a Scion feature and not upscale or luxurious in any way.

To each his own opinion, but I personally feel when driving at night, ambient lighting looks quite nice, and even has a psychological impact. Kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and there were glow in the dark stickers on the wall lol.

If you don't like ambient light - disable it. It's a choice.

It's not there as a gimmick, it's to illuminate areas of the car that are usually dark at night as well as probably make the glass and origami silk door trim look even better at night.

A bunch of pals and current LS owners were not super impressed with the 2018. That is until they saw it at the Atlanta Auto Show.

I truly feel it is something you have to see in person.

I totally agree I didn't like it that much until I saw it at NAIS.

Unfortunately many 'grown adults' don't understand the concept that perception from a screen is not the same as perception in real life.

As well as the difference in how basic car modeling photos are taken from angles that common adult sized human beings do not view from. Cars are not designed to look good in photos, they're designed to look good in person.

Is it too much to ask for people to think for themselves 2 steps ahead instead of 1? :oops::oops::oops:


I'm curious, do you guys prefer the cut glass trim on the hybrid or the traditional on the TT?

Cut glass trim works for my taste buds. Hoping it will be in the LS500 version. It should be :). I also prefer the LS500H exterior looks over the LS500.
The Black color helps in my decision of the LS500H looking better. Black is the color I'm Getting. It's A Beauty :)
