Shame eh? that car looked in pretty good shape!

But I mean all he can say is that its boring, and super well built. It is a boring car, if boring is ultra well built, super smooth, the suspension is pretty mushythough, I find the styling Bullish and snorty, espeically when lowered, stock though, EwwwWww 15" rims.

Clarkson is just a "flamer" and not a person to be taken seriously. His attitude pretty much sums up the British mentality of preferring form over substance and goes a long way in explaining why the U.K. has for many decades been unable to produce more than a handful of even marginally acceptable cars.

i think most of you are forgetting the fact that this comes from a video called "Thriller"...it is no surprise that the LS got the shaft...In the video he even criticized the Maserati and the Alfa. It was shocking when I saw it the first time, but you got to agree that the whole Lexus lineup aren't really exciting when compared to the others

Lexus doesn't do excitement, they do, smooth comfortable rides for rides real people drive on. Carved up, bumpy, pothole filled, uneven, cracked roads.. except for the is-f, appearently the suspension is to harsh. but it happens, i love watching jeremy clarkson's reviews haha
