I too don't see what the big deal is. There are so many cars on the road with 300K+ miles on it. This is not like the old days where you need a major engine overhaul at 100K miles. For the last decade + cars have been going well into the 100K range. About 5 years ago on the old Legend forums there were Legends with 300K + miles and many in the 200K range. Not sure if these cars are still going, but that is just an example of how unimpressive 300K miles is today. I'm sure the LS can go well past 300K range, so they kind of jumped the gun on this one. I think 500K miles is more the magic number now days.

That mileage isn't that great. I've seen a few Honda Goldwing motorcycles that each had over 300,000 miles on them. I read where Honda designs the Goldwing motorcycle engine to go at least 250,000 miles without touching the engine, except for spark plug change.

The only real extraordinary thing about cars with mileage this high is that they've driven that many miles without crashing it resulting in a total loss.

Lexus cars in junkyards are there because they are crashed. I've never seen one because it just stopped running. American cars you see mountains of them, many with straight bodies. Most SUV's are there due to rollovers.

So applaud the drivers of these cars for their ability to go all those miles without wrecking it. The car has done nothing extraordinary. These people just drive a lot.
