Is that really the exact same building?

The more I look at the picture, I really do have a feeling they are. Take a look, the LS is just further ahead. (so you're not able to see the stairs and doors)

That's pretty pathetic..Anybody know what the buliding is? A normal house or a historic landmark (Frankloyd Wright or something like that) ?

Well to be realistic, many locations in the world are chosen repeatedly for car photoshoots for different brands. Although this Lexus one is a shame because the car is angled similar and it is taken almost at the same spot, too.

I don't think the buildings are similar, but they have a similar design (Bauhaus). The fact is that Mercedes choose this type of building for a photoshoot with their flagship: the S-Class.

A year later, Lexus releases their top-of-the-line flagship in a similar pose at a similar location. Coincidence? Possibly, but I think Lexus got inspired by MB if you know what I mean.

The only Lexus screwed up in this photo are the rims. Terrible. I like the new LS, but those rims looks terrible. Just terrible.

For sure, vehicles are shot in the same place many times.

I know..

Here's one: Perhaps it is the same area, or the same photographer using a similar style else where. I'm not saying Alfa outright copied Pagani, just thought I'd show you

ohh they tried to copy poor ones

Glad you brought those two pictures up. I'd never suspect Alfa to have copied Pagani from those two shots. Although you see the same rock, the background's totally different. Can't say the same for the Lexus...

Yeah that is rather pathetic isn't it? I noticed their lauch edition wheels are just like the S550's lauch edition wheels. Old habbits are hard to break I guess.
