[whiteliketar]

@TheSaikou96- you might belong to 1988 - get a time machine and get with the times.lol

[TheRabbitjames]

Did anybody notice he is actually driving LEXUS ES350 at 2:17??

[rollsroyce666]

@TheRabbitjames no, that is just the back of the new LS. But it does loot a lot like the back of the newer style ES :)

[rollsroyce666]

@TheRabbitjames unless you meant the interior. You might be right about that

[stan67monster]

mark levinson vs bang and olufsen (s65, A8 L, 6 series BMW) vs bower and wilkins????

[hadabenz]

I really like the review. I hate pointless review who always do 0-60 and 1/4 mile for this kind of car...

[ilyxb00]

It's all because of the Japs ;D<3 THAT'S WHY I LOVE THEM. <3 (= Japs give you the best and sexiest games....best and sexiest car...the food, the culture....the name's.....the style...EVERYTHING. <3 J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e. =)!

[subzero92MK]

i really like this car

[vak182]

what a fag

[josh1969able]

WOW! What a review,thanks for posting we loved it.great job.joshi

[pwnrzero]

woa woa woa.

dont need a key to start the car?

isnt that dangerous?

someone please explain what prevents someone form breaking in and stealing this beautiful car.

[AdThaDon2k8]

@pwnrzero if they dont have your "smart key that comes with the lexus they cant steal it...but....imagine if you have the spare key fob..in your glove department or inside center armrest..then your really fucked!

[pwnrzero]

@AdThaDon2k8

Thanks. I actually figured that out about a week ago when I watched a Mercedes S class review, where they displayed a similar feature.

[Hackiesacker007]

@AdThaDon2k8 It comes with a spare key fob?

[FLAMERNECRO]

You can't compare an ls 460 to an s600, its almost a freaking $100k price difference(in canada). So quit comparing and it's definitely a bargain. Oh and to add, Japanese cars are engineered to perfection, and all the maintenance you'd probably need to do are oil changes and the occasional time belt chance.

[AdThaDon2k8]

@FLAMERNECRO thats the beauty in this car is that it doesnt have a timing belt no more it has a chian belt which lexus uses now for better longer reliablity adn you wonder why these cars last forever!!!

[lexusES350h]

I wonder what nightbird drives... Well anyways this is my reasonable dream car :)

[Nightbird]

YAHOO NEWS -- May 20. 2010 -- Toyota, the world's largest automaker, battered by a series of high-profile safety recalls in recent months, said consumers have complained of steering wheels that came off-center during certain driving maneuvers, out of alignment with the directon of the car's wheels. Toyota received 12 complaints in Japan, but said it knew of no accidents caused by the problem.

[Nightbird]

YAHOO NEWS -- May 20. 2010 -- The latest issue involves a computerized system that oversees how the steering wheel controls the tires. The steering system comes standard in Japanese models, but is optional in some other regions. It varies the amount that the steering wheel turns the tires on a car, allowing drivers to turn the wheel less at low speeds when attempting to navigate or park in tight spots and providing finer control at high speeds.

[DJFG85]

I'm not a big fan of Japanese cars but I must say the Lexus LS always impresses. It's built so well and efficiently.

[MrJackanthony]

Compareing toyota to german giants is not fair. I mean they might match some standards but most lexus cars (and similar brands) cost around three fourth the price. As to all the recall talk going on. Every major manufacturer has had some black mark in ttheir records. In my humble opinion you should let your bank account decide, not reviews or youtube comments made but 12 year olds:)

[Nightbird]

I am so amazed at all the insensitive assholes here blaming this poor man for being killed by a DEFECTIVE car. The next time someones house burns down due to defective wiring, let's blame the owner. The next time a baby dies from a poorly designed crib, let's blame the mom. The next time someone dies from eating bad food in a restaurant & getting food poisoning, let's blame the diner. The next time a girl gets raped while wearing a short skirt, let's blame the girl. Get the point asswipes? Good.

[Nightbird]

Let's all hope this car doesn't have the problems other Toyota & Lexus vehicles are having with their electronics, which just a few years ago would have been unheard of in a Toyota. As the head of Toyota just told the US Congress, maybe they grew too fast for their own good.

And let's not forget that poor man and his family who died in a Lexus due to the accelerator malfunction. This is why Toyota is in such trouble now. I for one will stick to my S Class Mercedes because I know it is safe.

[acuratlnigga]

proof of the accident please?

[Nightbird]

@acuratlnigga

What? You don't know how to google "cop dies in lexus"? Here is the link, fill in the gaps in the URL:

[jogga123]

Toyota's problems have been blown WAAYYY out of proportion. Any rational person can stop such a vehicle with little or no difficulty.

[Nightbird]

@jogga123

Tell that to the police officer, who was trained to drive and stop a speeding vehicle at high speeds, and who is now dead with his ENTIRE family. This man wasn't an idiot, so let's stop blaming the victim here. No one here should have to know how to stop a vehicle like this other than by normal means, just like I shouldn't have to know how to stop the airplane I'm flying in from crashing to the ground.

Everyone forgets that when a car is speeding, you barely have time to react.

[jogga123]

@Nightbird He was obviously not that bright,this case might be classified under "natural selection".

[Nightbird]

@jogga123

What an incredibly stupid & ignorant comment. Do you realize when this problem happens, on a congested highway, that you barely have any response time? Any professional driver will tell you that. Add to that your natural hormones kicking in, fear, panick, your family screaming around you..and it is very easy to understand how this happened. This didn't happen on some empty race course where you have time to maneuver and stop. His car hit others which caused it to spin out of control.

[jogga123]

@Nightbird If it is so easy to understand why so much controversy?

[Nightbird]

@jogga123

There's no controversy about this on the mainstream news. It's only on YouTube, where every insensitive asshole who can type likes to come here & act like they are superior to some poor dead guy who didn't have a chance in hell to stop a MALFUNCTIONING car. Toyota has admitted the car malfunctioned, & so have the scientists who studied the car. Yet assholes here on YT forget that and act like the public should know how to do something that ISN'T suppose to happen in the first place.

[jogga123]

@Nightbird If the mainstream news says it why wouldn't it be true? I guess I forgot that the news presents the facts and nothing but.

[Nightbird]

@jogga123

Let's bottom line this thing once and for all so we stop going back and forth with this shit, ok? The car was malfunctioning, we all know that, Toyota admits it. People aren't required to know how to stop a malfunctioning car nor should they be. Yes, it would be nice if they did know, but then it would also be nice if I knew how to fly a plane in case the pilot died midair. The bottom line is don't blame the victim for not knowing something they aren't required to know. End of story.

[jogga123]

@Nightbird Toyota will be on top again and the world is rid of one less moron.

[Nightbird]

@jogga123

Why are you defending Toyota? This company has admitted publicly that they grew too fast, & because of this started using cheap parts & did cheap build quality. I have nothing against this company, I am not faithful to one brand, I am only faithful to a quality product. Toyota USED to be great, but even the car reviews here show they are now using cheap quality products, which led to this man & his families death. Why blindly support a company that does this to the public? Think!

[jogga123]

@Nightbird I am a Toyota employee who works with a bunch of redneck Toyota hating morons.

[Nightbird]

@jogga123

Well if you really are a Toyota employee, don't you feel bad the upper management of Toyota has publicly admitted to cutting corners on quality & materials because the company grew too fast? I don't hold Toyota employees responsible for this, there just doing their jobs, I hold the higher ups in the company responsible, as they are the one who make the big decisions, not the employees. You work with a bunch of "redneck toyota hating morons"? It must be the San Antonio, TX plant..lol.

[abhinav7333]

@Nightbird its still great. every company makes mistakes. TOYOTA did too. they got over confident. but, if u look at the stats lexus is on the top in luxury brands in last 4 years. do you homework. i own a ls460 and let me tell you, i dont have to spend any money on maintainance. night bird every company have their ups and downs. u sound like a illiterate right now.

[PrinceNoctisCaelum]

Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz have plenty to worry about as a result of the LS 460.

Build quality, reliability and technology are all areas that the three German luxury auto-makers cannot match Lexus.

[Nightbird]

@PrinceNoctisCaelum

And thank goodness they can't match Lexus, especially since a Lexus with a bad accelerator killed an entire family recently -google it. I have NEVER heard of a MB, BMW or Audi doing that, have you? The head of Toyota just told the US Congress that his company grew too fast and bought cheap parts for their cars -that's not what I call "quality engineering". At least I know my S Class MB isn't going to kill me, people who drive Lexus' can no longer say the same thing, sadly.

[0605007837]

0:43 idk y but it looks exactly like a toyota camry! wierd...

[stevem4545]

300HP? I think he means 380

[mooazz]

yes

[oddguy314]

yes he does, this car was the most breathtaking car i sat in at the SF Auto show even though we have all known about this car since 2006

[TurboBuick1986]

Nice car - this is coming from a strictly domestic owner.

[ColbyPictures]

I drove an is350 and loved it, I can't imagine driving this.

[stevem4545]

That's the thing. Once you own any Lexus car you'll have to eventually aspire to own an LS. Even the previous gen ones are amazing

[ColbyPictures]

The tuxedo under the hood looks easy to clean.

[usama1119]

it doesnt look like a camry at all. its completely different.

[adamY2K]

FINALLY a proper REVIEW.

This is exactly what the LEXUS is FOR.

Not for Sporty handling, TO be pampered, comforted and spoilt.

The LS is by far the most refined and comfortable luxury car out there,.

It also has quite good handling , but the steering does lack feedback.

And the quality and engineering is second to none.

No wonder TOYOTAS TAHARA plant (where the LS is made) has one consecutive platinum J.D power awards for quality, effiency and build quality. German cant do that

[Nightbird]

@adamY2K

YAHOO NEWS -- May 20. 2010 – Toyota said Wednesday that it will recall a line of luxury Lexus sedans in the United States and Japan to fix a computerized steering problem.

The recalls will affect 4,500 Lexus "LS" vehicles in Japan and the 3,800 2010 "LS" models that Toyota has sold in the United States. The line is Toyota's top-priced luxury sedan brand, and includes the "LS 600h" hybrid.

***Adam -Now, what was that crap you were saying about "quality"? Whatever! LOL!...***

[DutchManticore]

@adamY2K'

Listen I completely agree with you that a cars' value is not just determined by 'sportiness". Something that a lot of reviewers tend to do.

But to say it's "by far the most refined and comfortable luxury car out there" is just as weird/ stupid to say as "BMW is the best brand".

It's subjective.. the best doesn't exist.

[adamY2K]

Me too, I think that the LEXUS LS, and AUDI A8 are the best looking luxury cars, because they are very understated.

But i prefer the Lexus, because it does have some curves and appeal.

[Tockertive]

A beautiful car. I prefer the styling to that of the ugly MB S-class and BMW 7. Interior is like that of the finest exec jets.

[sachakishlar]

good review great job!

[ARandomCanadian]

I'm trying to get a hold of an engine like that to put it in my supra

[yanzodadon]

i'd rather buy that then a merc but it could look better, exteriorly. i think it just looks too normal

[hms888]

LS 460 looks like a big!! camry lol.

[elmers000]

Absolutely the best and most reliable car manufactured in the entire world. I'll give the 2007 Audi A8 a close second.

[MotorSportGuru]

04-07 audi A8's have bad electrical issues though, my friened forkerd out 1400$ to AUDI to get his cd player and a bunch of buttons in the console to work again.

[BiggMykexero]

Lexus is a American subsidiary of toyota

like acura is a American honda

and in finity is a american nissan

know what i am saying?

[AdThaDon2k8]

no subsidarys for toyota nissan etc etc

[BiggMykexero]

believe what you want...i know what im talking about.

wanna prove me wrong feel free.

[mihail2000]

LS parks itself in 2 ways,drives itself up to 20 degrees,has ottoman,can hold 4000 songs,break,stear itself etc

[tnguyen318]

Thats quality wood from Yamaha's finest piano. Lexus interior is an awweee!!!!

[stickleback401]

Good car although 1. Looks a bit tipsy with those wheels, so opt for a bigger one.

2. The gloosy wood in the centre is just NOT popular with Europeans. It's not our idea of luxury. It looks tacky!

[stevem4545]

What makes you think Lexus cares what is popular with Europeans? LOL They're not trying to gain any ground in sales in the heartland of direct competitors

[anhacus]

Probably the best production car in the world, overall. Take one for a test drive and you'll see. Also, unlike some of the other brands, they don't break!!

[mstt1010]

I agree u can trust lexus and they dnt break

[stevem4545]

Durability and quality of Japanese cars is second to none. Well said

[baynest]

I'm collecting a vote. What colour would you guys choose for the interior & exterior?

[JZZ31]

Best car in the world. Im on to my 3rd Lexus/Toyota. These cars rule.

[janitor300]

LEXUS  RULEZ

[Min88Des00t]

Speaking of practicality, I wish MB's S-class had the auto-park. It's a longer car than the Lexus and has a much larger turning radius (40 ft versus 35/37 ft for the Lexus) and could use that autoparking feature for people who aren't such expert drivers.

[Min88Des00t]

I apologize, I'm getting conflicting figures for the S-class' turning radius, ranging from 40 feet to a hard-to-believe 20 feet, so I'll have to do some more research on this.

[Min88Des00t]

Looks like I'm getting turning circle and turning radius mixed up, so the Lexus still makes smaller turns.

[Konig1985]

the autopark is a fraud. it only works for space so big that u wont even need it. I really wished they have a non-hybrid AWD version, i will tell my dad to trade in his ls430 in a flash.

[Min88Des00t]

All three brands have their pros and cons. MB is a classier car, BMW handles better, and Lexus is the most practical and their reliability isn't as questioned as the other two's are. I've heard MB's really been trying hard to get better at reliability so their newest models may be a different story.

[CarReview07]

I understand people who are loyal to their favorite brand, but have you driven or ridden in the LS 460 for any length of time? The quality of materials and engineering will stand up to the German automakers and do so for $20k less. Example: the paint is polished by hand between coats and the silver paint of our test vehicle had a beautiful sheen. The amount of engineering that worked on reducing vibration/noise pays off with a very smooth and comfortable ride.

[Konig1985]

although im a german fan i dont disparage jap cars like that

you shld get a life before licking german ass blindly

[benz4life]

who would buy these cars by benz's or bmw's fuck japanese shit they are evil

[cypriotpilot]

what the fuck man u suck.RACIST NAZI
