Default Shocking Review of LS460L

Read the review here: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/?p=3708

Why is this a shocking review? Because, typically, TTAC rips everything, especially Lexii. Some of the review, of course, is not positive, but in general, I was amazed at what a good review it is.

Cool. I always wondered why the Touring package is only available on the LWB models. Wish they made more of them too.

I really hate this restrictive option packaging practices by Lexus Yeah I think Touring package should be available to SWB buyers. And you can't get the premium semi-aniline leather if you choose the Touring Package for the LS460L You can't even choose your own leather color/wood trim combination . . . When will they start being more flexible for factory orders at least for their flagship model, which is an important part of the luxury equation too ??

I think they are reserving that for MY 2008.

I would really like to see the touring package on the SWB.

You'd think that with all of the Just In Time manufacturing competence typically demonstrated by Toyota, you'd be able to custom order an LS460 for delivery in a reasonable amount of time. External and internal color, options, the whole nine yards. Seems very ancient history to ship what they decide that they want to build. Kind of like GM in the 70s.
