The Lexus fanboys on Autospies are claiming that the Lexus LS460 used in the C&D comparison was a pre-production model. Yeah, whatever. These guys just come up with the most lame excuses.
The placements of these cars is firstly do to their performance, and second because of editor opinions. If the editors liked the cars, they got top marks. If there was something not to like, the car got the appropriate marks. All cars in this class are beyond perfection. It comes down to individual preference. Case closed.
Ok, I`ve been very busy so I just read this article today...
I must say Car&Driver has an excellent review here!! I believe that were honest. I enjoyed reading about the highs and lows of each car and how the S (the ultimate) came out on top..
I thought the article was good, but would have liked a little more in depth analysis of each car, but it was great to see the MB in first and the Lexus in last, nonetheless.
