Holy crap, the engine bay is nothing but plastic! Some of technical inovations are really interesting... :bigok:

I think it's hot. I'd definatly get one over a 750 or S500.

Plus like someone allready said the technical innovations are sick.

BMW Rear End.
Infiniti Front End.
GS Body.
Looks like we found batmans cloths in the engine bay.

Sorry guys, that car is ugly as hell.

The LS is the best. If you have owned one, you will understand. Whenever I drive people, they always fall asleep in the car because of how smooth and quiet it is. The air suspension is also fun to play with, especially if you have a controller. Toyota reliability can not be beat. First Generation LS's have been driven for 600k.

I don't see any of those observations in this car. I liked look of the older LS better, but this is still a handsome car. This is by far the quietest and smoothest car I've ever driven when I used to valet cars. Add reliability and resale value and you got a pure win.

I think Q45 is the last luxury flagship I'd ever consider.

I agree. No competition in that area. A ten year old lexus will drive just as smooth and quiet as the first day you drive off the lot.

I don't know, Toyota has been tripping a little lately. Might be new leadership or simple over-ambition to take over GM as world's #1. Sweet car to lease for 3 years, wouldn't wanna own it when warranty runs out and even 0.01% out of 10,000s of little electronic gadgets start screwing up.

I test drove my uncle's 2007 Camry (sport model) with the 6speed auto, and I was fairly impressed! The car runs and drives smooth as silk, and GOD DAMN that thing is getting faster every year. With something like 270 crank hp it takes off like a rocket, keeping in mind it is quite heavy. Anyway im done blabbing.

I would still rather own a Lexus than any car company that offers 4 years free maintenance when warranty runs out. Reliability issues for cars from "free maintenance" companies will be way more than .01%

Under the high quality management style, i am pretty sure they will raise their quality control standard to ensure same mistake will never happen again. Besides, at least they would admit their mistakes
