I'm not sure how they come up with "Best Ride Quality" for the Lexus IS, unless the Euro-market version has softer suspension tuning than the American-spec.

They probably mean the Lexus LS.

TangoRed

Interesting list...but good press for Lexus in the UK at least.

evident

why is practicality so low? its a sedan with fold down seats. are they comparing practicality to a wagon or minivan?

RXSF

Practicality also means rear seat leg room, storage bin sizes, etc. I dont remember if the IS has a sunglass holder or not but most recent Lexus models dont.

In fact, they are: #1, #2, #3 are wagons / SUVs.

That is one thing that disappoints me and makes me wish Lexus models had -- storage space for little items, like sunglasses and cases, cellphones when plugged into the USB or cigaret lighter recharger, etc. My sunglasses (in its hard case) sits in the door map pocket and my cellphone sits in one of the cupholders.

it is reader survey + compared to every other car in the market, they are not split into categories... so of course it is 82nd, thats pretty good overall for what it is.
