Article comments for Full Test: 2007 Lexus LS 460 - The flagship of the fleet should be fashioned from an uncommon and uncompromised blend of technology and opulence. It should sport elements that distinguish it from the lesser vessels of the line, instill in its occupants an aura of invincibility and convey to the driver a lofty level of dynamic excellence, tempered but not tamed by a lush layer of luxury.

The normal car is huge! The bigger version is really huge! The drive is very nice! It feels like a smaller sports sedan... the luxury and feel of the car is great! I was impressed!!!! The information center uses high rez graphic elements for mpg, tire pressure monitor and more... really nice! When you sit down you see lots of buttons... a little confusing at first!

Replying to: ocean1234 (Dec 18, 2006 3:50 pm) Lexus is about 100 years younger than Mercedes-Benz, but, after 20 years of hard work, it has already surpassed M-B and all the other luxury brands in terms of quality, durability, reliability, and desirability among American buyers, an astounding performance. The flagship sedan that started out as the LS 400 and then grew up as the LS 430 has been morphed into a completely new car, the LS 460, that challenges all comers as the best luxury sedan in the world. It competes with the Mercedes-Benz E- and S-Class, and BMW 5 Series and 7 Series. http://autos.nytimes.com/2007/NA/NA/258/10617/287367/NCTD/researchReviews.aspx Drive-wise, the LS is superb in a straight line, handling bumps and road wallops easily. Acceleration is brisk, hitting 60 mph from a standstill in 6.29 seconds. Braking is an LS strong suit. The car needs just 113 feet to stop from 60 mph, which puts it on a level with sports car thoroughbreds such as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (112 feet http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070223/FREE/70216008/1011/L- - ONGTERMTESTS All you Lexus haters grow up.
#65 of 66 0-60 time by topspin628 Sep 11, 2007 (4:30 am)
I have an 04 LS430 and if I remember correctly, the 0-60 time is reported as 5.9. Is the new car really slower with a larger engine? Replies to this message: asolare1 (Sep 18, 2007 7:12 pm)

The 2004 LS430 did have a reported 0-60 in 5.9 seconds but according to the 2008 LS460 brochure on the Lexus website, the 2008 LS460 does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds.
