Passion takes a back seat
Lexus' LS 460 has it all: seats with massage function, a fridge. It even parks itself. But will anyone love it?

Here any tidy explanations of the new LS run out of oxygen, because a car that should have been an expressive and beautiful bit of dream-smithing isn't. It's not a bad-looking sedan, and it does have the look of the L-finesse avatars, but the instant I laid eyes on it, I was disappointed. Compared to the lyrical singspiel of Mercedes' CLS or the Audi A8, the LS is a dirge. Actually, it kind of looks like a Toyota Avalon with a post-graduate degree.

LA Times (US) review of LS460

Not a raving review by any means...

There is a video of the automatic car parking...over a minute and not the best finish...look at the front wheels.

Of course, thousands will...the same group of people who love the current dullard LS430.

They had a similar review in Autocar: no prestige like the German trio, despite perfection in everything else.
