Default EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Will this become the most prestigious luxury car ever?

I checked out this thread on autospies and I just could'nt resist putting the smack down on all the lexus haters over there. I might need some back up guys . http://www.autospies.com/news/EXCLUS...car-ever-7838/ . I put some links on there that show stats of the 12 cylinder offerings from germany and the s/c v8 from jag. The Ls 460 ='s the bmw760, beats the Audi a8 "Dubya" 12 and the jag super V8. What is going to happen to them when the 600H L bows in. I cant wait to see the auto mag reviews,"all they could see was the lexus's beautifully shaped tailpipes".

I love those led headlights

I just wish they were available as an option on the LS460.

I stopped posting at autospies b/c
1. They steal all their pics and clean they are world exclusive.
2. Out of the people that post there:
13% are in jail
19% are 8 year olds
30% are over 50 but act and post and have the auto knowledge of said 8 year olds
5% have a clue and really know what they are talking about

The rest are just complete imbeciles.

i wouldn't call putting in an 8 speed gearbox innovation.
it's a "my gearbox is bigger than yours" thing, just so it can beat 7gtronic.
and it has 8 speeds to disguise its lack of low down torque.
funny how an engine nearly 1 liter smaller makes just as much hp, 20-30% more mpg, no gas guzzler tax, ULEV emissions, and is only 20 ft lbs less torque than someone elses 5.5

haha...yeah :-).

LS460 owns it all...

It is hard to find where competitors beat LS460 on features, since they simply did everything better... That engine is possibly the best V8 ever created - high output, dual injection, awesome MPG.

Rom I think it is the bluish purple color that it was introduced with. Ifyou look at the third picture look at the front bumper on the corner and you can see it.

could be, that's like i said "very dark color" in parenthesis. as long as it's close to black i think it looks great. but personally i think i would still choose black

and man i salute you guys for spending time reading comments there.... i lost count when thinking of things that i can better spend my time on
