Look at about 3:20 into that video....when he shows the phone functions that you can get to do simple features for your car. I WANT THAT on my IS350, lol its not fair.

£71,000?!?!?! Damn, you guys in the US really have it cheap. It's even more expensive than the LS460 L in Canada too!

Car looks good in video, but it's SWB. I kinda feel a little sorry for the British & I think most Europeans & the Japanese that they cannot get LWB for the LS460, but only for the 600hL. I like the LWB version quite a bit more . . .

really?

ii don't like the lwb very much--i mean if i was a passenger in the rear seat, yes i'd like the LWB model, but just as a means of driving it around by myself, i don't like the way it looks, likewise for the 7-series lwb models..

i suppose you don't like any of the s class too coz' they are all lwb here in the US

lwb is smoother and more stable, i would take it any day

the lane keeping feature, that's pretty nice!

Yeah - mind you that's the price including 17.5% VAT (sales tax). It's £60,000 before tax.

I saw the SWB version of the new S-Class last year in Europe, they look a little awkward to me compared to the LWB version. Yes I prefer the side view of the LS460L too.

Damn... I didn't know that the new LS has all those electronics. Lexus really put an emphasis on the park assist but left out all of their other electronics. Maybe they should start making ads making the emphasis on the technology in the car rather than one specific part.

ohhh.. that's AFTER taxes... still, £60,000 is about the price of our fully loaded LS460 L model. Our standard LS460 model tops out at Cdn$108k

The LS460 SWB tops out at only C$100K pre-tax in Canada, C$103,550 if you add all available accessories & the teleio wheels option.
