Just curious have u ever used a touchscreen. If you haven't they are terrible. Constantly leaning forward to reach, hitting wrong apps and buttons while hitting potholes, taking your eyes off the road trying to navigate the software. They are horrendous. I love lexus but touchscreens in general are the worst thing ever done to automobiles.

Another great review, Joe! Love your continued analysis and hands-on body discussion of curves, scoops and finishes. You are tops in the business for that aspect of reviewing. I got a 19 LS500 two years ago, heavily optioned, for a third off the sticker price and 14,000 miles; like new, and flies! Been driving LSs for almost 30 years and although I long for an 8, this 6 is 0-60 rated at 4.6, and my last LS, a 460 and last of the 8s, was 5.4. So, give me speed! Keep up the great work, and be among the first to tell us about the next generation. Oh, loved your last LS review, too. My 500 is Matador Red, named Ginger. Hope to see you here again soon.

Very nice Im a big fan of the Matador Red and its a relatively rare color also.I have 2021 IS 350 AWD in Caviar w/handling package and Mark Levinson stereo as my fun second car and thinking of getting ES 350 either new or slightly used to replace my Malibu Premier from 2019 thats my daily which does take quite a beating but im thinking of going the 2 Lexus route instead.Finding a new or used 350 w/ Mark Levinson is very difficult indeed,which would be my preference The LS is a big,beautiful,stylish, and solid behemoth of a sedan and the IS is a much easier fit for my garage as its not the biggest or longest and definitely would not fit. The LS and the LC are the best cars for $100000 out there IMHO. Rare,stylish,classy in a subtle way and dependable like no BMW or Mercedes is.

I’ve had the last three generations. Terms of reliability Ls430 wins. Terms of comfort the Ls460 with air ride wins. Terms of styling and handling the Ls500 takes both for a walk. Now i will say this. Lexus has been trying to please their costumers with their demands over the years. A lot of people always said the LS was boring and for old people. Now we have something more sporty and fun yet no one is buying it. You cannot please everyone, therefore you cannot make a perfect car for everyone. I love the experience i had with all 3 generations. All with their pros and cons

To address your first question about the Lexus grill, I'm still diggin' it, especially on this beautiful LS. If they did a grill design as they did with the RX350, I'd like that as well. I like that the black chrome accents around this LS and on the wheels. On the end of the trunk lid, I wish they had spelled out L E X U S as they've done on some of the other models. I would also wish they had retained the V8. I'm a long-time Lexus owner and they continue to impress me as they've refined this magnificent vehicle. Thanks, Joe.

The styling of this car has held up well. It’s funny how the Lexus has become the value buy for luxury sedans as the G90 costs the same or more. I’d probably buy the base version with the interior upgrade package to get the massaging front seats.

Joe, great review of this Lexus LS. I have driven this car and I love it. Its one of the best looking large cars on the road and it handles very powerfully. I have owned the V8 and the hybrid powertrains and I love them all. Other luxury car makers think that displaying extra large screens and so-called "new" technology is the key to impressing buyers but this vehicle has all the possible options but in a tasteful less-is-more approach that many Lexus buyers prefer. Add to that is the staunch reliability factor than says more about quality than any flashy gimmicky nonsense that inevitably almost always breaks. By far this is my favorite large luxury car.

Yes I would get this car before all of the competition 👌🏾

A triple zonk. Ouch😂 but yeah, on any luxury that comes with performance, they really should dial it down with the shiny stuff. It takes the aggression and toughness out of it. But I'd definitely add this to my list of dream cars.

In my opinion the styling has aged well still looks good. The interior yes it’s dated hasn’t seen any changes in a while. I do miss the V8 :( under the hood that was one of the best things about the LS before the turbo V6

They did a great job with this LS- I think its beautiful inside and out. While the lack of 360 camera is a bit unacceptable at this pricepoint, the piano black center console area bothers me far more- that stuff scratches and smudges up so easily- it will look like crap in no time.

Love the LS Joe! Has always been a favorite of mine. But the 23 G90 is bringing it. Thanks for bringing it to us.

Thnx for the detailed walk around for everything on LS FSport. Your review help me pull the trigger for my LS 500.

I wanted the Grieko package but couldn't find one and was not willing to wait because interest rates was just climbing.. Lets go Br@#d0n. But now I wish I saved the money and got the FS because I dont use the Ottoman feature for the Exec Pkg... But I still love my LS.

I would really consider an LS or G90 over the S Class, 7-Series, or A8 if I'm being completely honest. I get they're the gold standard of large luxury sedans, but something about the LS and G90 just fascinates me.
