2007 Lexus LS 460L Review

Lexus LS 460L – Review:
Lexus shifted the luxury car paradigm when the original LS debuted 17 years ago, turning the pooh-pooh’s of American and European automaker executives into exclamations of "Holy crap!" Since then, Lincoln has dropped off the radar, Cadillac has struggled to compete, Jaguar has battled its electronic demons, and the heavy-hitters from Germany – Audi, BMW, and Mercedes – have been forced to engineer excellence on a budget. For 2007, there’s a new Lexus LS chock-full of technology, but after a week spent in an $81,000 extended-wheelbase LS 460L model, it’s unclear whether Japan’s premier luxury brand is heading in the right direction.
