Default Finally - Recognition that the GS460 Exists

Finally, an auto magazine that acknowledges existence of the '08 GS 460. The July issue of Motor Trend includes an article comparing the GS 460 with BMW 550i, Jaguar XF S/C, and Mercedes E550 - all V8s.

Although lots of good things were said about the Lexus (sometimes apologetically), it ended up at the bottom of the comparison. I got the distinct feeling the writers had no appreciation for Lexus from the beginning, and were simply proving their point. According to the article, the 460 didn't quite measure up in terms of "crispness" and "character." No mention of the amount of time the owner would have to spend in the shop, especially for the Jaguar owners.
