Love how it looks. Stereo sounds really nice too. Good power, smooth, quiet. Excellent traction (AWD)
Hate how much parts cost, how heavy it is (AWD), low MPG, have to use premium fuel, poor visibility from inside due to very high beltline (its like sitting in a tub)

Love: Stress relieving drives on long trips.
Hate: Lexus is content with their flagship sedan being a step behind the Germans in power and performance. (Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 series, Audi A8)

I really like the size, the ease of being able to get my older body in and out of it.

I like that big smooth V8 eight speed tranny, seldom used but appreciated touches

like the heated steering wheel and cooled seats.

I knew a big car with a 400 hp motor was not going to get good gas mileage, I don't care.

I really can't think of anything to complain about it.

I have to agree about the clock. Not that it's cheap, because it isn't; it's computer controlled and updated via the telemetry unit. But it's super hard to read at a glance--I have to really look at it for my old eyes to see what time it is.

Only one each, eh?

Well my "one" love would be comfort; how the A/C is very powerful and fast in the summer, the heat comes on immediately in the winter, everything happens automatically (lights, heated seats and wheel, windshield wipers, etc.)

My main hate is the cabin storage--the center console is difficult to access and the tray doesn't really move out of the way, there's no cubby by the cupholders for phones and such, and even though the glove box is HUGE, you can't reach most of it from the driver's seat. They placed a lot of controls and even a freaking hand rest on the console, but didn't provide a place for a cellphone.

Love: the design and thought that went into detail, the execution of those details in ride, comfort, quality feel.

Hate: that such a unique car and in pristine condition you can't go to a dealer without someone throwing keys or not respecting a piece of art

I love the look (of the 07-17). While there are some changes to the 13-17, the basic appearance is the same. Just looks great. There's tons more I love, but you said one.
Don't hate this, but as mentioned before, not enough storage. The 430 had lots of great storage compartments. I especially loved the hidden ones under the front seats. In my 2014, there's even less storage than my 08.
