Just checked Oprah.com, this episode was titled "How'd they do that?" and it was all wiz-bang features, performances...

That would have been actually Lexus giving them away(which they won't), it wasn't Oprah herself giving those cars away last time . . .

Yeah, it was the Pontiac G6 given away. That's what happens when a company can't sell their cars, they have to give them away.

Ain't nobody giving away LS460's!

Just saw one today for the first time. My God, what a gorgous car. Absolutely the best looking car in the world. I fell when I slipped on the drool that hit the ground in front of me.

I don't know how people confuse the two. That would be like confusing a MB C-class with an S-class.

They are completely different.

I agree, they are very different to me. But there are some surface similarities.

The ES 350 I tend to view more similar to the Camry, they do have a similar profile.

I hope Oprah liked the new LS.

I agree. The curret MB C-class looks like the previous generation S-Class but the C is so much smaller than the S. In the other hand, the ES350 and LS460 are about the same size..

It is true that they are completely different,, but I too confuse them when I see them approaching from the very front. I normally only see them in the mirror while I am driving from state to state and from the front I can see how they might be confused for a second. They have a very similar front profile. However, once they pass me and I get a good look at it,,there is no mistaking it; poetry in motion. ROTFL!!!!

If Oprah took four minutes to get it to work, keep in mind that she hasn't driven a car in years until that last road trip in 2006, and then she had practically forgotten how to fill up the gas tank (people do it for her).

i confuse the es350 with the ls460 all the time...but then again..its only because i take a quick glance.

the parking assist feature is a nice feature to impress your pals, but that's about it.
