Re: New Lexus LS....whoa
 Daaaaaammn. There is way too much engineering in that vehicle. And I love it. But seriously, a 8 spd auto? Thats one thing I would change. I also think they could have gotten more power than 380 out of a 4.3l, but shit. That is an amazing piece of automobile.

Re: New Lexus LS....whoa
Lexus is now upping the ante; see how most of their line-up is now RWD and AWD? That's awesome. Pretty soon you'll see them knocking head-to-head with the Germans. Honestly, you go sit all the new Lexuses and Acuras and Infinities, and then the German group, there's no noticeable difference in quality; it's all in the head and ego. Granted, the top dog M power and AMG are still up there, but I expect the Japanese to eventually come out with their own crazy-fast models. I think they're playing it safe by refraining, and focusing on grasping the market by the balls, which they are successfully doing right now: notice how Benz has been "forced" to diversify their once-exclusive lineup with a minivan now, lmao. The fact is, with the same amount of luxury and power, and then reliability (which Germans cars do NOT have...I have over 20 NEW Benzes and Bimmers in my family that have all wierd stuff going wrong with them: all electrical issues that are a pain in the ass), the Japanese may eventually win the game. Some diehard German fans will never approve, but no one can argue that the Japanese will have them by the tail pretty soon, by the way things are going...

Re: New Lexus LS....whoa
The new LS is SICK!!!! I really like the cruise control feature that slows your car down if you are coming up on a car in front of you too fast.....but the best feature is that it parks itself....yeah you read that right...it parks itself...CRAZY!!!

Re: New Lexus LS....whoa
High end sports cars FTL. I like to be able to work on my own cars. Sure all that would be great, but you'd never be able to do any of your own work plus with all that extra fancy shit, theres a lot that could go wrong.
