I doubt it, I couldnt fit my boxed 42" in my backseat. Honestly, didn't even want to try. It's not worth something happening to our leather. Use a truck..

Probably not while still in the box. I could just fit my 42" in the box. The problem is getting it through the door. The opening and angles, and the shape and rigidity of the box make it very awkward. You may have more luck taking it out of the box and flattening the box.

Not inside the box. I used a family members truck to get mine home.... its not 47 though so I didn't even think about it.

i think it will fit, but you have to set your front seats all the way too the front. my brother made a 42 inch fit on his back seat on a is300

I rented a Home Depot pick-up truck to get my 50". Paid $20, and since the fuel dial didn't move during my 30 travels I didn't refill. $20 well worth not having to hassle with getting it until a vehicle that it would definitely NOT fit in, or trying to borrow someone's pick-up/SUV for an hour. LOL!

i totally misread this post..it sounded like you wanted to install a 47" tv in it..made me laugh. when i bought my 50" i had my 07 WRX which is about the same size as the lexus and it wouldnt fit with the box so i just took it out the box and drove it home. When you want something now and you dont have the space....you gotta improvise!

I fit a 47" LG boxed in my IS300 last month NO PROBLEM! Now I have a IS350 and the size looks the same. Move your seats forward and put the bottom of the box in the floor board and the top pointing toward the rear window. You should be good!

Doubt it... I could barely fit my Sony 32" in the car without damaging the leather!

No it will not. Tried with a 42" and it was hard. Just go rent a van from home depot for $20.

LOL I thought the same thing! But I'll have to agree with the majority; won't fit while boxed.

Just ordered a 42" LED for pickup at walmart so most likely it will fit without the box.

anyone able to get a flatscreen TV stand in their car?
