I don't know if I'd call it the best auto of the year but it is a damn good one and would at least be nominated, IMO. The exterior design could be a smudge better but as an entire package, it's hard to beat.

this comes from a genuine toyota fan so dont question me on this bs.. i just dont play fanboy crap like some of the above posters.. yes ill call u all idiots for that..


now ON TOPIC:

yes the ls should win with ease.. it was greatly improved in every dept. over its predicesor... and to top it. it will hold its value, be more comfortable (to me) and is quick on its feet.. we can only hope what the F versions will bring out in the future (hint is-f, GS-f LS-F)

I still think the self-parking is useless and time consuming. other than that it's a very very nice vehicle. Very quick for it's size and weight.

That whole self-parking thing is more like 'look what we can make!' for the Lexus dealer and 'look what my car can!' for the owner.

I must say, I've problem backing up small cars.. ..this could be a sollution for people like me.

I've not yet driven te LS460. But it is on my 'to-do' list for this summer. They say it is even quieter then the previous LS. Cannot figure out how that is possible because I could hear a pin drop on the carpet in the LS430.
