Knowing that 3uz-de is perhaps one of the best motors built for everyday driving, traveling and even racing (with all its potential and durability), Lexus is still pushing innovation forward and issues a v6 and turbo to accelerate this car even faster approaching almost 5 sec to 60mph. Unfortunately, this design will decrease durability standards to the lowest. And we haven’t even looked at other parts of the car. It just will be an expensive toy, helping dealers pay off their financing cash flow loans.

We're probably all guilty in some way of going with the flow. I saw a new Buick Regal yesterday, where the shape looked kind of nice to me (the tails were squinty like a 650 4 door or at least that's what it made me think of), but it looked very cheap (the exhaust looked really bad imho), and the driver was clearly in her 80's. It's kind of strange sometimes that car cos. don't embrace the people paying their salaries, meaning these car cos. want young buyers/drivers, but they get older ones and can't change the demographic nor the overall image. As if younger money is greener

Yes, I’ve driven one. The power is disappointing given the high rating. It is faster than a 430, though. Ride seemed quite good to me. Quiet on the highway, I thought the ride felt similar to an S class.
Maybe I’ll get a used one. The price is kind of high for a new one and I don’t really like it enough to spring that kind of money. One the other hand I might get a used S class. It is faster, looks a hell of a lot better, ride and amenities to meet or exceed LS. Close in price. Most likely LS will be more reliable.
