Default I love my car!!!

I absolutely love my car.
Its been 2 years and I love it more now then when I got it. My opinion abut this car and Lexus in general has turned all around. Maybe I haven't driven a BMW in a while, but this car makes me feel good on daily basis.
Its a combination of few elements that do it for me.
Quality
Design
Functionality.

I can take this 10 year old car wit 100K miles on it cross country and feel confident that nothing will go wrong. And that feeling is priceless. This can not be done in a 10 year old JAG, Benz, BMW or any other car for that matter.

This 4 liter motor is also one of my favorite aspects in this car. Very efficient and powerful. I hardly ever find a need for more power.

Overall. I will remember this car for a long long time after I sell it.

Next car, LS 430 By next summer.

I am very passionate about the road and the right vehicle for it.
I look at a car and picture places it can take me to.
I bought this car wanting a 300 HP RWD sedan that was unique. I found it all and then some. A reliable friend who is up for anything and will take me for hundreds of miles even after I expire. Never tired, always willing.

I'll echo that feeling. This is the best car I've ever owned hands down and I won't be driving anything other than an LS at this point. I keep thinking that I want to upgrade, but I can't justify it because nothing is wrong with the car I have. I'll be driving it at least until I have 250K miles before I even think about upgrading.

The difference becomes most apparent when you ride in somebody else's car.

99/100 times, this car makes me smile every time I take the seat.

...the other 1/100 I'm not smiling because I've got my girlfriend in my ear or something.
