If Lexus did not detuned the 4.6L engine it would not be at the bottom of the list. Maybe the next generation the GS460 would get the 380HP engine.

lexus needs to stress performance more. They have the reliability in the bag ( relative to industry standards), they need to focus more on performance in the future models. Even the ISF was ranked last in its comparison to the M3,RS4, and C63. They are coming around, but damn they are taking their time. Nobody is saying for them to dump their creamy suspension, but damn they should offer a sport edition to their full line up ( larger wheels, brakes, stiffer suspension, and added aero parts like infiniti, BMW,mercedes,audi. It seems that I usually only notice lexus on reliability rankings ( always at the top), but they are never at the top of any performance comparisons sadly.

somehow, this didn't make me regret my decision at all

different cars for different folks, no biggie

Personally I prefer "RELIABILITY (IN YEARS)" over "PERFORMANCE (IN 10TH OF SECONDS)."

Even though, I do hope Lexus will come out with "SPORTS EDITION" soon (with chrome trims removed from the vehicle)!!!

Then that will shut them out... for good!!!

i knew the lexus would be last even before i clicked this thread

How did the speedway measure 0-60 ?

I understand how they do 60 foot time but how would the track be able to stop a timer when your car reaches 60 mph ?

One thing is that my GS felt more luxurious than the BMW. My cousin has a 5 series and you cannot feel the ventilated seats when its on high! What a waste of money.

How did they get 360hp bmw 550 0-60 in 4.8????? This is almost M3 414hp number. Weird, because bmw lists 550 with manual trans. in 5.4... that's big difference. I've seen Motortrend posting bogus numbers before. I wouldn't use them as a source of info...

dunnojack

yeah. that 550i accel time is bullsht

other places post it at 5.x seconds

i was questioning that crap, cuz i know 20 more hp/tq does not = ~1 second faster

list but rather just a regular XF. The supercharged version should be taking on the M and AMG class. It would then get its teeth kicked in.

think they grouped it here because of the relatively similar price range.
