Default Motorweek names Lexus LS "Best Luxury Sedan"

As part of the Chicago Auto Show press conferences, PBS (and SPEED TV) show MotorWeek announced its annual "Drivers' Choice Awards" for 2007. The Lexus LS received the "Best Luxury Sedan" award.

Here's how they described it:

"When it comes to high-end technology, MotorWeek’s Best Luxury Sedan pick, the Lexus LS, sits at the head of its class. From radar cruise control to self-park, the new LS is a teckie’s dream. But the best part is that the gee-wiz features do not detract from the LS being a very fine handling, enjoyable drive. Even the long wheelbase edition has prowess its German rivals can appreciate. Throw in an upcoming V8 hybrid, and the new LS moves the luxury-car benchmark more than a notch higher."

Makes sense since it is a new model. They rotate these awards around every year depending on what's new and hot at the time.

The big surprise is folks in the price bracket really don't care about hybrids. They want trunk space for the golf clubs. Toyota will learn eventually.
