Hmm, I think this topic has been addressed before. Anyway, yeah I agree with you that the Lexus LS resembles 5er. They probably lack innovations and ideas

I think Lexus had these lights on their 2002 ES300 cars before BMW.

It really does not matter what the LS460 looks like as it is not a real drivers car.
The current issue of Car and Driver? has a comparison of the S550, A8L, 750iL, XJ8 and LS460 and the LS460 was in last place.
Not that it is a bad car, it just focuses way to much on silence and reliability to the exclusion of everything the German makers emphasize.
