The best car I have ever owned. Quiet, powerful, luxurious, spacious and built to a standard that the Jaguar I previously owned could never hope to match. Trouble-free motoring in a refined interior, with effortless acceleration. The alloy wheels are something Lexus needs to sort out. I have had them replaced once as the lacquer started to break down but the replacements haven't lasted much longer. Taking everything into consideration it beats the competition into a cocked hat.
I saw the LS 460 at the British Motor Show and think the accusations of 'lack of soul' unfair. The interior is wonderfully serene and well-layed out, and compared to the S-Class, oozes class and modern refinement. I, for one, can't wait to take a test drive.
The best car I have ever owned. Faster than a Porsche Boxster and more comfortable than a pair of old Hush Puppies. Excellence comes at a price, but once bought there are no extras to push the bill up by another ten or fifteen thousand pounds, as there would be with a Merc or a BMW. Rarely does anything need replacement or repair. It floats silently past most other cars on the road with little effort and at 70 mph the rev counter reads a little over 2000. Power & performance combined with luxury.
