mirror projects logo on the ground.

 

A Bentley for one-third the price LOL.

Well, you could start with this...........

 

i would never pull an april fool like that...

it certainly does have a lot of buttons and i don't think they made the car any simpler... there's just so many functions and features and buttons. it wasn't 'obvious' that you pull the window switch up AFTER it's closed to get the power side shade to go up, and there's a button on the door with a mirror logo that isn't about adjusting the mirror view, it's actually a 3 position rocker, the mirrors are either 'auto' (fold and open when the car decides) or rocker pressed right to fold mirrors and pressed left to keep mirrors out.

i think there's 2 factors... easy storage room in cuv/suv and easy in/out seating at hip height.

 

Another thing about cargo room, I carry a lot of stuff in my trunk I like to have separated from the passenger compartment lol

 

OK, I think you have convinced us. Congratulations on an impressive purchase.

 

Did the dealer add on the pinstripe for $3000? I cringe when I see that on any new car.
Congrats! What a wild ride! Those tailpipe tips are worth it alone...

 

 

I actually like the pinstripes! I thought about having pinstripes put on my car.

It really is, interior materials are even better on the G90. All the way down to the switchgear though and the way the controls work and are laid out, the LS460L was clearly their benchmark. Like I said after I drove it, the ride and drive is almost identical.

 

way to keep flagship sedans going lol... if i could get over my japanese bias i'm sure i'd really like owning this car. that aside, doug demuro reviewed the G90 not too long ago and described the ride and feel as being similar to the E-Class, which leads me to believe it's not quite at the absolute top tier of ride quality. i haven't driven one yet but as you now own one can you confirm / deny the E-Class comparison? because i do really want to like the G90, again if not for the japanese bias i might even call this the LS 400 of today (even though i secretly would always want the LS to be better).

 

You can also do it yourself. It's not difficult, If you are careful to trim properly, do it in mild weather, and apply in a straight line. I've done it myself a number of times.....both for my own cars and for others. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour on the average vehicle if done carefully.

Agreed. Both the G80 and G90, IMO, outdo their Lexus equivalents in the quality of materials and switchgear. Jury's still out on the G70, though.....haven't seen it yet.

 

omg so true... poor us haha, i gotta say it is a nice problem to have in the grand scheme of things.

 

I saw Doug's review, couple things:

1. The new E Class rides really well, from a "bump isolation" perspective, its very close to flagship quality. What it lacks is the big graceful feel of a big sedan. Bear in mind you can get the E Class with an air suspension, although they are very rare so equipped.
2. Having owned an LS400 on air, LS430 on air an LS460 on coils and an LS460L on air, and having driven a G90 as well as a new E Class and the previous gen E Class, the G90 rides very similarly to the LS, and better than the E Class.

In the flagship class today "ride quality" is VERY similar between the LS, 7 Series, S Class, A8. The G90 is right up there, you just have to understand that it doesn't have an air suspension option which is going to hold it back a little from the LSL so equipped and the others which are equipped that way base. I would say it rides every bit as well as a coil sprung LS460L.

Haha, it is!

I would have it done professionally lol. In any event I'd want painted ones not stuck on ones.

The G80 I agree if one is comparing it to the ES, but not compared to the GS.

I would also say material quality is closer with the LS500, but the G90 is still better. Lexus likes to use fake leather in places which bugs me, all the stitched trim on the G90, doors, dash, etc are real Napa leather. In my top interior option LS the door panels, dash and console are all synthetic leather. Same is true mostly with the LS500, only area that is real leather on the LS500 that isn't on the LS460 is the door armrests. Center armrest is leather on both.

 

I found that to be true even as a teen-ager. While most of my friends went Ga-Ga over the classic muscle-cars of the period (and I confess I liked some of them myself), I loved to relax and enjoy an isolated Magic-Carpet experience behind the wheel. The gas-crises of the 70s, though, forced me into smaller cars.
