 | Re: Car and Driver: A8 vs 750i, vs S550 vs LS460 vs XJ8 Super V8 I will say this, while the other vehicles are putting us in the poorhouse the Lexus owners will be laughing at us. None of these other company's can match Lexus build quality. Written by 1 Germancarfan! |

| Re: Car and Driver: A8 vs 750i, vs S550 vs LS460 vs XJ8 Super V8 Can't wait for more details... Anyways as it comes no big suprise the Lexus is my personal choice, i'm a Lexus man.  It's by far the least sporty vehicle here but i doesn't matter to me  After the LS, i'd probably go with the S550 and then the A8.  |

| Re: Car and Driver: A8 vs 750i, vs S550 vs LS460 vs XJ8 Super V8 Thanks BMWrules, karma for scans. Going back to what Mirage77 said.. it was for chauffeur driven cars. I have no doubts the LS is a better car in that respect than at least the XJ! Quote:

| Re: Car and Driver: A8 vs 750i, vs S550 vs LS460 vs XJ8 Super V8 Kind of an odd result from an American company. The Lexus got last, when it probably has some of the best build quality and comfort, plus reliability and price....I wonder what happend. I'm excited to read this now!

| Re: Car and Driver: A8 vs 750i, vs S550 vs LS460 vs XJ8 Super V8 750i must weigh less than S550, despite having a weaker engine its performance is on the same level as the S550 and in some cases its faster. I also noticed that US havent the new upgraded engine yet on A8.
