Dual-Ottaman in the back instead on the right side.

The have to make a LS460XL (for Xtra long) then

, you know that there can be no front passenger with the ottoman/recliner fully outstretched as it is now, so unless they enable the car to completely drive itself without a driver in front . . .

Would be nice to have pretty much all the features that the LS has now with some of the nice stuff in the Maybach also (as extra options)

Also an option for armouring, for once.

No need to play in the same ball park at BMW or Audi or Mercedes.

Maybach quality of sorts for a really nice fraction of the price

God bless Lexus, when ever that happens.

I am still hoping they would make a new V12 Century & make it a new Lexus model to sort of compete against the Maybach in features but at a fraction of the price, say at the price level of a S65 . . .

brabus is not amg, pretty much end of story. we are talking about coming from factory here. any car in the hands of good aftermarket companies, they are all monsters. just look at all the v300 in japan

"aftermarket companies they are different story. they have nothing to do with bmw FACTORY setup anymore. it's just like saying my gs is just ok on power and handling out of factory, but now i have no problem killing a lot of cars on the road. that doesn't mean much"

Lexus needs to do MORE than that or not make an F-division car for the LS at all. BMW does not have a M7 either . . .

why would they do that? Nobody suggested that... ABC is equal to air suspension in LS, not to **** BTW. MB has nothing like **** to my knowledge.
