		<description>twobolt makes a good point. The ISF is a great first effort for Lexus. The problem is, in their efforts to develop a sporty car, they designed a vehicle with a suspension so stiff, it makes a BMW seem like a smooth ride. Unfortunately, to affort an ISF, you must have a very nice income. Something not normally associated with someone under the age of 35 years of age. It would have been a perfect boy racer car at half the price but those who can truly afford this vehicle usually do not appreciate such a stiff ride for a daily driver. I do not know if the ISF will survive but with some work, it really could become a great car and Lexus&#039; first real sporty car.</description>

		<description>idrinorbarsaku,

I didn&#039;t want to totally bash the Lexus, but it can&#039;t hold a candle to its German counterparts in the handling arena either. It has poor driver input fhrough the steering wheel, and it elicits little or no excitment when driving it. It is like being in a vacuum.

It does have a nice interior and better looks than most cars on the road, but to intimate that it is sporty and can handle anywhere near the performance levels of its German competition is silly. 

For the most part, Lexus is for those who just want to get for point A to point B and really have no need or knowledge of what driving dynamics are or what they are used for. They just want reliable transportation so they can sit in the left lane and talk on their cell phone doing the speed limit.</description>

		<description>The Lexus LS is a full-size luxury sedan that serves as the flagship model of Lexus, the luxury division of Toyota. Four generations of the sedan have been produced, all equipped with V8 engines and rear-wheel drive.Sport model is not just an appearance package. There are those telltale styling cues inside and out, but there&#039;s a lot more to it. What makes this the most exciting model in the LS line is the addition of a sportier transmission, new brakes, and a sport-tuned suspension.

		<description>I just love the thinking behind selling expensive cars to the &quot;younger crowd&quot; in an economy where fortunate  college graduates can get a job selling for Apple at $12/hour.  That&#039;s a pay rate of $24K/YEAR.   And how would you like your M5 sir?  Or perhaps this year old LS for only $59K, it&#039;s a steal.  Right.</description>

		<description>If Lexus want to build their rep. among younger consumer, then only 3 cars can help doing this, Next Gen GS460/-F, Next gen SC, and next Gen ISX50/F. I own 2IS and I think it&#039;s a great car, but not really great enough to kick some German a**. LS should stay luxurious.</description>

		<description>It seems like toyota is introducing this sport package thing to attract younger buyers. Same reason why Merc introduced CLS to keep the average age down in their brand(which was a success). Automobile companys always want to be appeal to younger crowds. Toyota is afraid that the current LS GS and ES owners will eventually go away in the future. Average Lexus buyer is somewhere in the 60s and they are struggling big time to attract younger crowd. Same reason why toyota launched scion brand to appeal to young individual. It was a success at first then the average buyer&#039;s age keep climbing north!</description>

		<description>IMO the flagship rides arent supposed to look extravagant. people dont buy them for the same reason they buy somethin like the IS or 3 series. Its a status car that has a ride thats beyond pleasant, And its not just lexus. almost all the luxury company flagships are an understated design, with an engine thats capable of moving such a heavy ass car but isnt meant to be pushed like you a smaller car. This LS does a great job at just that. Its easy on the eyes. has a great ride, and thats about it.</description>

Feel free to join in.

All&gt;&gt; 

Just found out the pricing information on the LS 460 Sport Package which is $6,185. But Lexus also informed us of a general price increase across the board. The new base price on the LS 460 is $65,380.

The story has been updated to reflect these new figures.

Thanks for reading,

Pricing was not available at the time we drove, and a look at the Lexus website still only shows the base price of $64,680.00 Plus Destination. I have a call in to Lexus Communications and when they respond, I will post it here.

Johnnycanuck&gt;&gt; Uh, happy new year, there, eh?!

		<description>It is inexpensive luxury. I don&#039;t know if LS was affected by unintended acceleration disaster that Toyota has created for itself, but most of professionals that I know, who make their living old fashion way (earn it), drive Lexus LS. They pick it up and return in 3 years and that&#039;s when they see their dealer and they prefer it that way. They are busy people and not looking for relationship with mechanics and service managers, even when free courtesy cars are offered (I see a lot of BMW&#039;s with those signs). I agree with most that it is not a drivers car or exciting car, but how many people buy S class or 7 for excitement? It is a luxury automobile. Albeit I prefer styling of previous model.</description>

		<description>Mark I see the base price is a little over 64K. Was that the price of the one you tested? If not what was the price?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to play the nice guy here. First of all, that was a good read Mark. We know it hasn&#039;t been that long since Mr. Toyoda took over the reigns so we shouldn&#039;t expect miracles and you didn&#039;t make it out to be one. For 90% of the driving that probably 90% of all drivers do this is a nice set of wheels no matter what you think of the badge on the nose. For those who need that last tenth the rest of you are absolutely right, go buy something German. 

I&#039;ll just bet you however that the next generation of the LS is a very different animal.</description>

		<description>It weighs 4730 lbs and only has 380HP? If they are serious about adding some fun to the drive, they are going to have to do better than 5.4 seconds for 0-60mph. That is an eternity compared to its German counterparts. You add some cosmetic touches to the car and then think all of a sudden it is &quot;sporty&quot;. They must think we are as dumb as Lutz says we are!!!!  I passed on the Lexus because Akio does not have a clue.</description>

		<description>Nah it doesn&#039;t look at all like a Hyundai. The Genesis copies Infiniti/Nissan product designs</description>

		<description>VIP for sure, though it almost does kind of resemble VIP works. The right side wood trim, on the dash, looks like someone swung a baseball bat into the dash and left it in(as seen on pic 21) !</description>

		<description>Before, I would have said &quot;The Hyundai Genesis looks like the LS460&quot; but now with the change in the LS to be an LS-Sport-460... I&#039;m going to say the opposite!

This thing looks identical to the Hyundai Genesis!

Picture compare: http://www.dieselstation.com/up_pics/hyundai-genesis-sedan-pictures.jpg
