very nice. i really think the lwb looks a lot nicer. somehow the swb looks weird, you do feel the rear part of the car curves down too quick

The new LS is probably the best looking Lexus ever IMHO.

Default Interesting comparison to Mercedes

The V8 Mercedes can do 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Is that not faster then the Lexus?

Yes it should, but the difference is less than 100 pounds I think.
If one keep himself & his family slimmer & fitter, that should make up the difference

It should be around the same neighborhood, we need a lot more tests from various different sources to find out more . . .
