Favourite Current Production Lexus?

[Bruce]

In light of HighestOfHigh's recent threads and being a Lexus enthusiast myself I thought it would be interesting to see what the majority of German fanatics would vote for as their favourite Lexus. I expect the LS to walk away with the trophy, but I could wrong..

All varations included!

The model lineup:

LS

LS for me. Love this car and thing its on par with the Germans or atleast very close
Rest dont really do it for me besies the IS and GS

 

[LaArtist]

IS for me..all others look very akward

 

[Bruce]

Thanks for answering guys

Like Rudy, the LS is also my choice. Lovely exterior design, admirable interior, great engine options and it has all of the luxury features you could want.

Following the LS my choice would be the IS. After that, the GS.

As for the rest..NO. The ES, SC and RX strike me as particulary ugly. The GX is ok, while the new LX looks rather overdone (particularly around the rear)

The IS. I like its interior the most out of Lexus lineup. My biggest problem are the rear lights. IMO the new Lexus models have rear lights that look too "Hyundaish".

IS for me, btw what's the position of the ES ? Is it a 3 series or a 5 series competitor ?

The GS takes care of the 5 series, the IS takes care of the 3 series, the ES i guess is aiming for buys inbetween, cars such as the Saab 9-5 the Peugeot 407, the Citroen C6. The ES is just a rebadge Toyota Camry.

My favourite current Lexus is the LS, the GS is a close 2nd. The LS has almost every convient and comfort feature you will ever want or need in a car. From various reviews this car is surpremely refine and it can actually handle when it is pushed.

It took me a while but now i am used to the styling, and i think it is quite nice. I still dont' like the interior styling but at least it doesn't look as cheap as the rest of the range.

Youch, looking at those pics I'm reminded why Lexus is such a no-go with me, a lamer if you will. No style or anything looking at that bunch of vehicles.

That said, my favorite Lexus is by far the IS350. Small and fun to drive and their best looking sedan IMO. I really enjoyed throwing it around at the taste of Lexus and for some reason I really dig the interior. The LS460L would be the runner up. Then would come the SC430, which I've always found to be interesting car, but it is deeply flawed in so many ways. The Lexus I'd rather walk than drive one is the ES350. It is the very definition of boring.

I cannot fault the LS - it's the best designed Lexus to date.

It doesnt help when Lexus happens to take THE worst press shots in the universe. Absolutely terrible.

Boring to describle the ES350? Really?

I'd use awful and ugly.

My favourite Lexus? I do not like any of their products to be honest, so it is hard to pick a favourite one from a collection of cars you don't like.

With that said, I find the IS different from the rest of the lineup, and if I must absolutely choose a Lexus, the IS will be it.

 

[PanterroR]

Don't care for Lexus and don't know $h!t about 'em , so i'll only go in terms of looks and that's definitely the LS. Mainly because it's side profile reminds me a lot on my own car.

 

[NarutoRamen]

Even though I love the IS, I'll have to vote the LS as my favourite. The LS is probably the best german big car competitor ever. The design isn't too bad but the tech is amazing.

 

[wltsm]

Most definately the LS, used to be the IS, but the LS takes attention to detail to another level!

 

[zetableh]

I also don't like any of the Lexus lineup. I would say that out of them all, I'd take an IS, but I had an IS250 AWD pull up next to me the other day at a stoplight, and the sucker sounded TERRIBLE at idle. It was rattling and clattering and sounded like an old-school diesel engine, and that really turned me off. My 17 year old Buick is quieter from the outside than that was.

 

[Centurion]

The IS is my favorite Lexus. In my opinion it is the Lexus's best weapon against the Germans and frankly it is a car I could without regretting it choosing the IS over the 3er, A4 and C-class. Not only does is it well designed but the interior quality is respectable and it handles good too.

 

[cawimmer430]

LS.

I used to like the GS, but the more I see it the more I dislike it for some reason. Something about the car just bugs me.

 

[Tarek]

IS for me and the ES is surely the ugliest one.
