| Re: auto spies - L'Équipe: Audi A8 4.2 vs BMW 750i vs Jaguar XJ8 vs Lexus LS460 vs MB Predicitable results for the most part, although I'm surprised to see the XJ8 placed above the 7er  As for the LS' brakes: Doh! Dissapointing braking figures and as most know, it's not the first time. Based on experience with my dad's 98 GS400 it wouldn't surprise me if the LS had poor ventilation for the brakes. This braking issue stretches beyond the LS too, in fact all of Lexus' vehicles have longer braking distances than comparable cars.  I hope the IS-F changes this.. (the first Lexus to be eqquiped with Brembo brakes) |

I don't how fast it accelerates and parks itself, you can't bring me to safety quickly then that is one "deadly car".

| Re: L'Équipe: Audi A8 4.2 vs BMW 750i vs Jaguar XJ8 vs Lexus LS460 vs MB S55 This is hilarious, the thread on Autospies. This is the second time that the Lexus has come in last place and all the Lexus fanboys are screaming "BIAS". Hilarious. But yeah, those braking results for the LS are TERRIBLE. Guess it really needs that Collission-Avoidance System...   Surprised the Jaguar made it into third place. It is a beautiful car though.

| Re: L'Équipe: Audi A8 4.2 vs BMW 750i vs Jaguar XJ8 vs Lexus LS460 vs MB S55 Yeah there is something wrong with the brakes, and it seems to be only on the LS460L not the SWB LS460. Interesting. M
