WoW the Lexus is heavier than a Range Rover

Yeh, it's definately not a light car.

BTW how much does the Phaeton V10 TDI and W12 weight?

Thanks so much.

Would someone kindly translate the German categories on the results list?

Auto mercedes und Sport

I subscribe.

Here. I am going to create a translation section for these terms.

The batteries are heavy, as well as the electric motor and other related components. As I have said before, this Lexus is for those who want to sit on the moral high ground and look down on others, while in fact their Lexus is useless and unnecessary. Hate those people, eg countless Hollywood tree slaves. Anyway back on topic, MB over the others for sure. The Lexus really have crappy brakes. from 190km/h to 0took 152m while the BMW used 138m. MB require 142m to fully stop the car. It doesn't matter if the Lexus has all these active radar braking system, if the actual braking hardware is crap, you are going to crash.
