New LS600H Launch Edition
I have to be honest, i have been very critical over the years regarding the bland and overall boring stature of the Lexus brand. When it came time to get the wife a new car i told her its your car get what you want. Personally i wanted her to get the S63 or S65 but a RWD car is not practical for her. We test drove lots of different cars in the full size luxury sedan class, and the LS was the clear winner. I honestly have to say the new LS is just that good, what a phenomenal automobile. Ok on to the pics.

Kinda agree lol, I always felt the LS was just bland but a friend brought down their LS460 with the sport package and I was surprisingly impressed, loved the two tone interior and the more sportier drive vs the standard LS (it felt hunkered down vs the floaty number feeling of the standard car). Heard the 8 speed auto in the sport package is an upgraded version of the standard 8? It snapped shifts off unbelievably fast and smooth for a normal automatic. Great gas mileage too, can cruise for a long time on the highway.
But the best thing has to be their whole Nav system, works so much easier and better than Benz or BMW, I still hate the iDrive system.

I have owned most of the major luxury makes and I find the Lexus dealer experience second to none. Also the leather quality and attention to detail along with reliability is something that Lexus is famous for. I still miss my RX400h hybrid and the amazing dealer service. Congrats that is an amazing car, and the hybrid technology makes it have a powerband unlike any other car.

I have moved 3 times in the last 3 years and so my experience with Lexus service has become very tenuous. The service side has SUCKED to be frank. I originally had one service guy who was awesome and then I got switched to this girl who just sucked! My experience with MB service was nothing but top notch. Porsche sales and service sucks as well as compared to my original Lexus experience! I have noticed a trend tho, when cars are selling the service department experience is great. When cars are NOT selling the service department blows! Common sense say's the exact opposite is suppose to happen, smh.

In the Seattle area I found it interesting that Lexus built a new store, and MB got there old building. Just recently MB finally moved to there new building. I also used to get great service at the Cadillac dealer now its beyond deplorable. I sometimes wish I had of forced myself to like the LX570 or GL550....
