| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) They say that Lexus has made a big step from the previous model to this one; that it no longer lags behind German competition except possibly for one thing: driving dynamics.

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) It's hard to put a finger on who's the clear winner now, but for me both cars are equally impressive. I'll take either without question.

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) Poor Lexus. Doesn't stand a chance against the S class (or A8 or 7).

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) I don't think there is any interest because the article really isn't a comparison, just a ride and drive of the two cars. The article really doesn't tell us anything beyond giving the specs for both cars. Real comparisions are coming for sure. The video doesn't even show the S-Class and LS together. M

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) Thanks for the translaton Chris! I think the LS460 is going to better than some of you guys think! Remember that the IS is a match, if not better than the 3er in some areas! |

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) LOL. Hey, just remember - there's a lot of people in the market for a large car that don't really care about going around corners quickly. The Lexus would suit them just fine. Lexus knew what people want and gave it to them. |

No problem. BTW, I think the Lexus IS is more of a C-Class competitor than 3-series. The Lexus ads just went overboard with their marketing and obviously if you claim that this "car was designed to be a 3-series killer", people looking for value will be interested.

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) Now this is going to be as unbias as possible. The lexus is great value. If money is the main factor when it comes to the purchasing decision then it's a no brainer for the Lexus, but if money is not an issue then IMO it's definitely the S-class. The S class is plain gorgous, has more luxury and gadgets then most people's house and it handles great. The lexus is very good when it comes to luxury but it lacks everything else..such as character and charisma and looks. The lexus is very bland looking. Honestly, the new Camry looks better then the new LS. I'm not saying this as an MB fan or even a german car fan. I'm saying this as unbias as possible. anyone else agree with my statement?

| Re: LS460 VS. S-CLASS (Autobild) The exterior of the LS is all right but the interior is blaaa. First of allt he buttons in the center console looks to be made out of cheap plastic just like the ones in the IS. More over the the whole from dash and console is very early 90s. There are simply too many buttons. |
