Default Lexus Has 25 Reasons Why the LS is in a Class by Itself



I like my car and all, but if pressed, I wouldn't be able to think of 25 things that make it great. Then again, I didn't make it. I'm sure Toyota would be happy to give you a list of its positive characteristics. Its luxury division, Lexus, did exactly that earlier this year to celebrate the 25th birthday of its flagship LS sedan.

Over the years, the executive express has caused Mercedes-Benz to imitate Lexus's production processes, become the first V8-powered full-hybrid production vehicle and coddled passengers with anti-fatigue seats, available Mark Levinson audio and an optional Blu-ray DVD Rear Seat Entertainment System.

Read the rest on the Club Lexus homepage.

Beautiful vehicle. Can't even begin to imagine how awesome the next gen LS will be. Really looking forward to it.

Come on. If you like it that much (and the LS is indeed an excellent luxury car), telling us why you love it should be a piece of cake. Even unimpressive vehicles have some positive things about them (which I try and list in my reviews).

I miss my LS460 . The luxury and the tech were amazing . I just could deal with the handling . Too soft and I'm up for a midlife crisis car so I bought my ISF . I would buy another LS in a second ( if the Panamera doesn't draw me away )

Well yours was not the '13+ model, which is much improved especially with the F-Sport, but nice call on the Panamera

My 2007 Lexus LS460L is a car that you can keep for over 20 years (and I plan on it). Features like heated and cooled backseats, an icebox, power rear sunshades, memory backseats, just to name a few, will annihilate most of the new cars on the market today. The LS should stand for "Luxury Ship" because it makes you feel like your "King Of The Ocean" when driving. This vehicle is truly relaxing and kind've isolate you from the worlds obstacles. With the various array of amenities to immerse yourself in (in which I'm still trying to decipher) really helps with the overall delightfulness of this vehicle.
