They don't post through the regular attachment system. Just go to YouTube, search for what you want, click on the video, copy the URL, and paste it without the IMG brackets. Most of the time's there's no problem.


I don't quite understand his comparison to the Buick Regal, though. This car actually competes more with the Lacrosse. The Regal doesn't offer a V6 except on the GS model.

I was just about to post this too Jill, and that was an F Sport variant on 19" wheels. I agree with him, the car rides great and is very quiet.

Isn't this the last year of the LaCrosse?

Not sure why people always call him 'king' Alex. I find that just as silly as calling LeBron 'king' James lol

Because the F-Sport has AVS suspension. Now Lexus needs to make AVS more widely available and add 'Comfort' mode like the LC, LS.

I've wondered the same thing. King Alex sounds kinda creepy.

Credit where it's due...nothing silly about that. He's one of the best, if not the best, auto reviewers in the business.

Probably, at least in the American market. It will remain in production a few more months.

Not sure I'd buy one, though. The workers in the Hamtramck plant are probably so p***ed off at Mary Barra that who knows what they might try and do to sabotage the assembly line before it shuts down.

Like I said, the one I test-drove, with the 45's, was clearly too rough and noisy for my tastes. I'm thinking, though, that perhaps we might both be correct. I usually check tire PSIs before a test-drive, to see if they are within a couple pounds of recommended. It's possible that I just forgot to do so (too much air in the tires), or that there was a problem with the tire-sensing-system on my test car, giving false readings, though it is not likely to have affected all four tires and their individual sensors.

The spec-sheet lists F-Sports as 40-series. The one I drove (with a wheel-option package) was not an F-Sport. The base model (which is the one I'd probably get) has 55s, like the Avalon XLE.

It is possible to get comfort and good handling both with low-profile tires (the best example I can think of was the last-generation, hydraulic-steer BMW 335i and its 35-series Sport Package)...but such good compromises like that are generally rare.
