Tired of my LS460 but now love it again!
I have a 2008 LS460 and I was getting tired of it so I test drove several cars including the new BMW 5 Series, the X5, Ford Explorer, Acura MDX, Chevy Impala (kind of like the way it looks!) and a Mercedes E350. After test driving each one, I would get back into my LS and appreciate the way it drives, the quality of the leather and other materials and just how smoothly and quietly it drove. So if you are getting tired of your car, I suggest you just test drive a few other cars!

OMG, I am in the same boat. There should be car counselors...when the love disappears! LOL

I love my LS 460 L so much I have no desire to test drive another vehicle. I've own a MB and Audi (both in the repair shop on a regular basis) but the 460 is total satisfaction for me. Lexus the pursuit of perfection.

Playing devils advocate here! Maybe if driving another car of its caliber will sway you in a different direction? Driving "lesser" cars will always bring you back. How about the new S class or XJ to even the playing field? Taking a Impala, MDX, or even a 5 series out for a spin is not enough to sway you from an LS. . Ok..im ready for the flames lol.

I'll say this, the LS has a different feel than the BMWs for sure...Audi too, but overall the Lexus is a better car. The LS accelerates pretty darn well for a big car, it doesn't maybe feel like a 535, but the 535 is a piece of junk. Overall the LS just has a good blend of everything and the design is very modern. I swear the rear end of this car is one of the nicest I've ever seen - and it it copied by others. The side view is breathtaking and the front is pretty decent as well.
I've never received so many compliments on one car. I've literally walked with someone to the parking lot at work and the person will stop and say...who's car is that? It's beautiful? You can't get that with many cars.

Benz is the only car temtping enough to get me out of lexus ,,, Any AMG sedan would do it for me ,,specifically the cls55 or the s63 , but I need a reliable daily driver ,,and they are gas guzzling cars that constantly need to see the mechanic.

Hyundai's very latest models are serious competition nowadays for both Toyota and Lexus in regard to bump smothering ride comfort, freedom from road noise, seat comfort and richness of the interior furnishings. Although the current Equus is an aging design that is no match for the LS460, I'd bet the next major redesign will be.

When your stopped at a light in ECO mode the engine shuts off to save gas. As soon as you lift your foot off the brake the engine starts back up automatically.

I rented the all new 2015 Hyundai Sonata and was shocked at how it was virtually the equal of the ES350 in ride comfort and quietness and very noticably ahead of the Camry/Avalon. From the accounts I've read from others, the Genesis ranks above the GS350, but below the LS460 in ride comfort, quietness and richness of the interior furnishings - all for a price near an ES350.
