LS AutoMonat: Lexus LS460

[cawimmer430]

AutoMonat had a light Lexus LS460 review. They basically mention everything we know already like the standard features etc. I'll jump straight to the conclusion.

+: Price and standard features, comfortable, quiet, safety features, driving dynamics, for people who don't feel the need to show off in a Mercedes-Benz

-: Small trunk, average design, no diesel engine option available

The Review (in German), but hey, the pics are cool.

Small trunk again...

It has become a common archilles heel of Lexus cars... I wonder why this is so.

+ point for Driving dynamics. Interesting.

There is an extra cool box option that takes up the trunk space with an extra compressor.

No problem.

I was wondering why the car was criticized for having a poor trunk. This is actually the first time I have heard this critique on the LS460. Perhaps they're comparing the trunk size to that of the competition, and that might make the trunk of the LS appear small.

James, I too found the driving dynamics part interesting. They said the car wasn't sporty, but the driving dynamics were improved over the old LS430 and felt safe. Basically, it handles ok.
