Sweet Jeebus what an over-designed mess of an interior. This is why Jap luxoboxes will never be considered classics. The Japs style for right now, the Germans style for decades ahead.

>>16790648
>>16790731

Not the anon you're expecting, but you're wrong nonetheless.
It's based on the Volkwagen D3 platform which derived from the D1 platform which is the basis of the Phaeton.
The only notable difference is that the D3 consists of an aluminium space frame whereas the D1 sports a conventional steel bodyshell.

It's still based on the Phaeton though.

>Implying a VW cocksucker would ever tell the truth.

Just look at this thread with lies like the LS500 is FWD. They are THAT desperate.

>>16788845
This. I dd a 220hp RX with the 3.0L V6, sure it's not anywhere near a sports car but it's enough power to never need to rev above 3k if you don't want to. I think this helps with longevity of the engine -- you don't HAVE to use even close to half of the full range of rpms if you don't want to, and less frequent engine racing means more long term stability.

It's at 215,000 miles with original everything and it is still so buttery smooth. I don't even care that it is so goddamn fat.

I'm not implying anything. The post was purely factual.

But I can see that someone would not be willing to drop this much money on a car that shares things like the dashboard light arrangement, the multimedia system or various little knobs and buttons with a base spec Golf.
It's probably just my autism showing but it makes the cars feel so much less exclusive once you notice it. Especially since other manufacturers do a much better job at masking the parts from their cheap volume models.

Reliability only matters to used cars, and the people who buy used cars don't matter

itt: kids and poor adults acting like kids about cars they'll never afford, not even used, and throwing anything except actual arguments around.

Is there any board worse than /o/?

Guaranteed Premature Mechatronic Sleeve Failures reduce this car a pretty lawn ornament.

Unless you commit to having 6 grand just sitting around to take care of it when it comes up.

Honestly I don't think it looks bad. Not nearly as bad as most new Lexus. The predator grill actually looks decent with the rest of that body. And unlike most Lexus it doesn't look like they only changed the front and rear of a Toyota but kept the middle portion of the car the same.

But fuck.
It's slow as shit.

Lexus say,
if you want new V8 LS,
buy GS F.

This new Ls 500h sets the standard now in the segment, nothing else has glass hand crafted material, nothing else looks like the leather design in the doors. I can just imagine this with lighter colours and a two tone combination and u'll have incredible opulence unrivalled in this segment. This is just Class redefined, the S class is old news compared to this.
