Default Glenn Beck from CNN and the LS460

Finishing up his 1 hr show tonight he talked about the LS460 and how that commercial played over and over again parking itself and the dynamic radar cruise control etc. He said something to the affect that money can't buy happiness, but then again maybe the Lexus could.

While reviewers may not like Lexus as much due to the lack of emphasis on sport, the general consenus in the media by news groups such as CNN (as you state), ABC, and CNBC, is that the average consumer likes this product. While I may be wrong, there are not too many buyers out there who will go BMW for the true reasons of sport (they'll go just b/c of the name). This is where Lexus will hit big. For the consumer who reads consumer reports, etc, this will be a sedan they will love.

I have always enjoyed Lexus interiors and their high quality of materials. This LS kicks it up a notch and employs a ton of great tech features. Like it or not, people have to admit it's made great strides

you are not wrong, both LS and S class easily outsell 7 series in the USA.
