Like Gino said, black cars look better in the shade or in this case at 6:30 am.


For all the cars and motorcycles I've owned over the decades, all my motorcyles that I either bought used or ordered, were black. However, I never bought or ordered a black car. While I loved my motorcycles in black,for some reason I just didn't like my cars that color. However, I have to say, yours looks maaaaavelous!

I am trying to avoid a Black LS in my car searching attempts.

Most in Australia are black.

What Car Colors Have the Most Accidents?

Black Cars

Some research has revealed that black vehicles are the most dangerous on the road. At least one study found that you’re 47 percent more likely to be in a crash if you drive a black vehicle. Other studies also find that black is the most dangerous color, but offer a more reserved projection. Those studies find that driving a black car increases the risk of a crash by anywhere between 10 and 20 percent.

Why are black cars most likely to be involved in an accident? Visibility seems to be the driving factor. Black cars can be difficult to see, especially at night. Black cars also tend to blend into the surroundings, making it difficult for other drivers to see the dark vehicle.

Black/dark cars are way hotter in the daytime until the A/C kicks in.

And regardless of what car I am in, I always drive with the headlights on, day or night.

Should I go for base or L? Any years to shy away from?
Regardless of the year you're considering and which model you want; of the car Doesn't have a Complete service history, Walk Away.
I feel the 460's are a very reliable automobile series. That said, it is also a Very complicated. Without proper maintenance those complicated parts terms to quit working.
In this case, a few dollars spent on prevention beats Thousands spent on repairs. Remember, Lexus parts tend to be expensive.
