I agree with most of what you are saying. I do think Toyota has dialed in a certain amount of “lag” in their LS500 but maybe done on purpose..I believe with the new 2022 update, it has been modified…in contrast to your Mercedes, they have more than 15 years of turbo models to dial in a different feel for their customers. I can absolutely promise you that Toyota tunes their models depending on category and demo, my Matrix with the 2.4 and the 5 speed is out of this world responsive..like WTF style…where my 1.8 Corolla is totally different in a more linear smooth and calm response. The my 04 4R is much more responsive than my 21 which feels like it was tuned for light acceleration etc. I think with the new Tundra, the hybrid max model is gonna be “the’ model to get
They definitely tailor each powertrain for the application I agree,

When I drove the LS500s, any lag in the throttle felt just like the throttle lag I was so accustomed to from driving Lexus cars for so long, I didn't feel any sort of additional turbo lag.

Ram has a variable air suspension available

I've driven a 9th gen Accord Sport V6 as well as a 10th gen 2.0t Sport (9th gen manual, 10th gen 10 speed auto), and although the 2.0t has more power, torque and is faster, I would take the older 3.5 NA V6 over the 2.0t any day of the week because it feels way better

I totally agree the 460 feels better, I deliberately didn’t get a 500 I just don’t feel this turbo lag people talk about. If the 500 had the space and the ride characteristics I had in the 460 The engine wouldn’t have stopped me from getting one.
And like I said, my TTV8 S560 feels totally natural. Just has a lot of power but the delivery is very smooth and linear.
And we’re not talking about a turbo 4cyl vs a V6 here. This is a twin turbo V6 with a hot V. Totally different.

That especially true for the smaller 4's. In my Civic Si it would lag, then shoot like a rubber band when boost hit and felt really unnatural. The Accord 2.0t was much better but still nowhere as good as the na V6 it replaced. I would imagine a fully loaded truck that's pulling loads the V8 pulled would feel lag until boost hits

I was actually making more of a reference to turbo 4's, that's where you really feel the lag people mention, especially in smaller 1.5L's like I had. The power doesn't kick in right away. TT V6 and V8 are going to be different. You can tune them to be more linear as they less underpowered before the turbos kick in
