Rain Santiago the LS 460 is not that great. The engine is not all that smooth and quiet as the flagship LS should be and the ride comfort is not all that great. If I were you, I would look for an extremely well maintained LS 430 (2004 to 2006). That was the last car Lexus made that totally emphasized *LUXURY* , everything else be damned!! .....And contrary to what many of these nutty reviewers keep saying, that car handled very well, especially considering that it is primarily a LUXURY sedan, not a sports coupe! The ride was soft and silky, the steering was teflon-light, and engine and exhaust were SILKY SMOOTH and DEAD-QUIET, and the car was so isolated from the world, it was amazing. And I'm also a late Gen X / early millenial, not some 70 year old person. * rollseyes * We are just smart people, who know that a LUXURY vehicle should not compromise one ounce of luxury for all the coupe-like design and sportiness bullshit * rollseyes * . For the times I feel like going on a "sporty" drive on a winding road, on a Sunday, I will have a REAL sporty car: A Mazda 3 with a 6 speed close ratio manual, sport suspension and summer tires * rollseyes *

Thank u so much for the pov view...love vids like that. Good review, I am a Lexus driver, had a couple BMW's (3 series later version, and X5)...gone b4 I had to do any maintenance. Driving my first Lexus, and it's amazing. Ranks 3 on cheapest to maintain. Great vid, but remember soft close doors on those cars, hurt me to see you close the doors any other way, and I truly believe "certain" ppl want engine noise in a LS.......lol...too funny

Lexus, my favourite car brand ❤

Fantastic video.....very informative

Chris, hi Shaun, here in critiquing your videos. ( I watched the night drive, of the Genesis,) When you do the walk around, your pans; or movement is too fast. I felt like I was on a boat. Otherwise you cinematography is good. Your editing is spot on, I even like your cut away shots. your audio is great, I can hear the engine, just fine. And you really know your cars.

Does the executive package include a cooler box at the rear ? None of the videos seem to be saying anything about it , almost all cars in this segment have it at least as an option .

Contrast with the white civic

Sounds great. Looks like it handles very well. Effortless.

Which has a more luxurious ride quality and better NVH? This one or the Genesis G90?

OK, you just floored a new car. You can give it to me now. Thank you.

Hey chris, think 4k 60FPS HDR is somethin' you could post on a car review? You've got by FAR the best quality video and audio content in all of automotive journalism, no1 can dispute that (and best content, subjective but that's my opinion), but Yea I'm wondering if it's possible to throw HDR in that mix? Or have you already? my only HDR device is my samsung galaxy S8 which I believe only has HDR10 or something like that, but if i'm seeing shit in HDR it does tell me in the quality setting along with motion rate and resolution. i.e. HDR1440P60FPS

v6 flagship equals video over in my book. i dont care if they even give you free gold bars when you buy the car . if i had to buy a lexus sedan and spend some serious cash it would be the gs-f, now that is a dying breed of excellence and naturally aspirated v8 power and IMO the gs-f is simply a better looking car as well inside and out.

It’s is me or do I like no noise when I’m driving

If only it looked as good on the outside

Why is engine noise being amplified by the speakers when the whole point of this class of car is to be as comfortable and isolated as possible?

The added low end torque of the turbo motor will make you change your mind about that. Has to be driven to be appreciated.

I absolutely love this new LS and I don't miss the V8 at all! This twin turbo V6 has far better power/torque delivery and fuel economy than the V8 did, so who in their right mind would still want an obsolete engine? I say good riddance. The only complaint I have about this car is the infotainment system which feels a bit outdated, particularly the inexcusable absence of android auto and apple car play.

Pretty car on the outside. I find the inside to be a step backwards compared to the luxurious LS interiors of yesteryear. This one has some questionable materials from an eye candy standpoint and is too worried in general with feeling sporty instead of feeling luxurious

The car sounds like the GS350

This car the most luxury car of Lexus and it doesn't have a screen for the back from the backseat . Why ?

This new LS has grown on me. It is not the LF_FC Concept they showed last year, and that was what I really wanted, but this is a very good looking car, and definitely offers a sporty, almost youthful alternative to the one-design-fits-all German fare. The V6 offers V8-like performance. My biggest problem with the car is the telematics &graphics are a step behind everybody. You can't have everything for $75k to start. Excellent value play by Lexus.

Its something about this interior I just dont like, the dash just doesn't seem cemetric. It all just looks weird I love the outside minus the taillights, but the interior doesn't look on par with,the likes of the SClass,or 7Series. Those interiors instantly scream top of the line luxury, but I'll reserve complete judgement until I can sit in it for myself, once its finally released to consumers.

Engine noise intrusion =(

Please test out the New KIA Stinger

Lexus has departed from its original luxury path a few years ago, with aggressive sports styling creeping in for its other models. I agree with many of you in that the latest LS has very nice and modern interior, first class actually. As to the exterior design..., wow the worst thing on earth is to apply the aggressive sporty styling to the LS series. I also agree that the best LS should be the last generation or even the 2006 model (LS 430) -- even though they did not have such a nice interior. For the exterior styling, the S Class has certain elegance in it. For this latest LS, is it trying to be a sports sedan or what? The exterior styling is a disaster for a luxury car.

Weirdly enough I think this car is a step back for the LS. The previous generation felt like an S Class competitor and when I drove it the ride and quietness were amazing. This car seems a tad more sporty but the space is lacking and it looks more upmarket Toyota Avalon versus looking like it's in a class of it's own.

This car must be good. Lexus put a lot of effort into it because the last generation slipped hard with both critics and the market. The 2014 S-Class simply decimates this class and Lexus knows it so they overengineered this.

but why ! this is a heavy and long luxury car, similar to the S class why make it sporty ? for whom ?! who is going to use this for sport !! this thing is big and heavy when you have other real sport cars like LC and cars from other companies this is supposed to compete vs S class other big luxury cars of course most kids will think this is sexy now, but these kids aren't LS buyers, they just like anything sporty most people who like this type of luxury cars, will not like this design just look at the small speed meter, oh my god :(

Yikes. Just the sound alone is a turn off. Does not sound like a flagship luxury sedan from a Tier 1 brand. From start-up to acceleration it sounds no different than a 6-cylinder car costing half as much. And the interior does not look impressive in the least. The buttons on the center stack look retro, the instrument cluster looks like it was all stuffed into a very small space, and the Shrek ears for the stalk controls is out of place and should not be positioned that high as if they were used constantly.

LS used to look good. It looks awful now. Does not look classy at all. Very weird and awkward lines and angles. Overall shape does not look good. Used to want one but no longer.

Honestly in my opinion this new LS lost its identity of being a huge, fine luxury car with good looks. The looks, i mean the taillights with those chrome lines going down like a LC500, i hate that so much...And the proportions are wrong, on the sideview that swept back is so ugly, makes it look like a hatchback. The interior is quite nice, but using one digital tachometer (like the other lexus models), instead of a full like 12 inch LCD one like most companies use, is just stupid and not luxury at all...
