I am one of those Lexus lovers, but I do admit, when it comes to performance that neither the 460 or the 600h have ever lived up to thier performance )not surprising with Toyota, they've always done that..) Having said that, I still think the LS (the 460 in particular) is a great car. It's not the most sporty car in it's segment, nor the fastest - but I still admire it very much.

I agree

Agreed once again.
