Reviews: 2010 Lexus LS460L
Four editors from AutomobileMag.com test drive the 2010 Lexus LS460L and each provide a brief review of their thoughts on the vehicle.
Quotes from the story:
Given the LS has always been the ultimate Lexus, I've come to expect nothing less than the utmost in luxury, refinement, and technology at a reasonable price tag.
Coupled with snow tires, this all-wheel-drive system lets the long-wheelbase LS plow its way through some surprisingly deep snow.
In a day when we have 5000-pound crossovers that claim to be sport coupes and Cadillac sedans lapping the Nrburgring, the LS demonstrates a refreshing purity of purpose and a near obsessive commitment to proper execution.
Every aspect of this vehicle, from the one-finger effort steering to the smooth-as-glass eight-speed transmission is finessed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
When I fired up the LS460L, a message flashed onto the navigation screen telling me there was a new Lexus Insider article waiting I pushed the button to listen, and heard a three- or four-minute podcast about a historic inn near the Delaware Water Gap The podcast is part of the Lexus Insider series of recorded messages sent to the car's audio system.
The array of controls available to rear-seat passengers in the flip-down center armrest rivals the instrument panel in the original Lexus LS from twenty years ago. And it's certainly a wonderful place to ride, the equal or better of the rear seats from the obvious competitors: Mercedes-Benz S-class, BMW 7-series, Audi A8, and the new Jaguar XJ.
The LS remains the purest expression of the Lexus philosophy and is just as appealing today as it was back in 1990.
