Hey Cameron. The S Class and 7er might be more flashy. However, this one will last many many years after it is paid off.

[@wanyelewis9667]

Dated design doesn't mean poor quality. Even though the Lexus competitors may have more "modern" interiors, they aren't better. He could do a better job of explaining that.

[@reggiefranklin9852]

I have a 2014 LS 460 and I love it! Only 82,230 miles on it. It is most definitely a road car and I can drive over 530 miles on a tank of gas.

[@gregstah714]

530 miles?? Everytime I fill up I get 297 on the cluster and that gas only lasts like 5 days tops & I don't even commute alot

[@Oliver2020.]

@@gregstah714do you have the awd?

[@glendaly6367]

He's saying its pretty smooth and quiet. If Lexus has done anything right, it is the quiet and smoothness. This car is the most silent car I've ever exhibited.

[@stuarte.curran9340]

An exhaustive, highly informative and most of all, honest video. Thank you.

[@goergeibrahim6417]

This car looks beauitiful its the best Lexus Ls ever created

[@Toyota4Life]

Such a beautiful and Classy design. This design came out in 2007 i believe and it still looks great this day. Lexus really know how to make elegant looking designs. That interoir looks so good ! This car will last forever long then you will need it to

[@sirdanieliii9567]

The engine cover has nothing to do with how quiet the interior remains.

[@chrisreed26]

I have never heard soo many negative comments about this model! I believe this reviewer who seems to be hard for Mercedes, does not care for Lexus! This is one of the highest rated cars around, back in 2017.. still is a sought after used model. I was at the local U-Pull It used auto parts junkyard and was shocked at how many S-Class Mercedes were there! I mean newer models, under 10 years old!! I only found 2 Lexus LS400 models and both had severe front end damage. The Mercedes while a few were wrecked, most were not wrecked! I judge a car's reliability by how many models I see in the junkyard and I will say the models that were plentiful there were Mercedes, Dodge Neon, BMW 7 series, Ford Windstar vans, Nissan Altima, It was just amazing how all the BMW were the 7 series!! The flagship model was the worst one!! The Mercedes was the S-Class but not the older models.. Not a single 300 diesel or any Mercedes diesel there.. very few Subaru and Toyota Camry models..Anyway, You are a rarity to be this critical of the Lexus but you are entitled to your OPINION on this car but luckily it is just that, an opinion and not the actual facts about this reliable Lexus! I still enjoy your videos!! haha Just disagree!!! You have every right to be hard for Mercedes!! Cheers!

[@boxcarent.3147]

A Mercedes will be in the shop all the time.

[@DateAZ]

Such a beautiful car. It's on my shortlist of retirement vehicle

[@JGARCIA415]

This car is perfect... always have loved this thing

[@JohnFelosFKKS]

It’s way better looking than the new 2018 model “exterior” wise

[@juanzingarello4005]

I really don't know why Toyota hasn't redesigned this car in so long. I just hope the new one will be something amazing and they won't abandon the flagship like Infiniti and Acura did.

[@majorlazer3650]

Nice Review broo 😄 and please if You want to upload video again... With full Revw

[@Sldumas1983]

Personally I am glad that the Ls is not all digital. That is one less maintenance bill to worry about

[@Mabeylater293]

By that logic you should be driving a scooter😂😂. Lexus IS Luxury AND reliability. The instrument gauge should have been digital just like the extremely reliable 2010-2012 Lexus Ls600hL.

[@Sldumas1983]

@@Mabeylater293 Ok cool but when I would work on those cars at Lexus I have to charge a lot to have it fixed because no matter the cars make and model once something goes out in their sometimes you have to replace the whole thing not all of the time, It’s cool I like it but I liked it when Lexus was just simple luxury but either way have at it🙂

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

awesome car. one day l have a 2017. l have ls430 2001 and Lexus ls460l 2007 awesome cars.

[@peterstemniski5023]

It is sick having memory seat for the passenger

[@2isadventures]

A beautiful car! Personally, I would chose this or the Mercedes Benz S-Class

[@gwgrote5]

@Mario S. I agree with you Mario. I test drove a used MB with low miles, yet 5 owners (Red flag). When I looked into an extended MB warranty, I could have purchased another small car.

[@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947]

When are you gonna review the Toyota Corolla iM? I thought you told me that you'll review it.

[@JsnLwrnce]

I have a 2006 and my mom has a 2013 from a 1999... theyre not as flashy as a Merc, BMW or Audi but still very subtly luxurious. I think they're redesigning them for 2018. Mine has almost 100k on it and 3 owners...ive only put it in the shop once. her 1999 and my 2006 had/has most of the luxury features cars do today, ijs

[@TheKillerace900]

Nice car!! but reminds me of toyota on the outside, ik its totyota luxurious brand but still! keep up the good work

[@blakesmith2429]

My dream car wait till I get this house and this Acura paid off Its a rap

[@mrbungle112loser5]

This car for this year is impossible to find for sale

[@parloitaliano2]

Because it's reliable and not easy to sale

[@coureurdebois]

the LS does feel a bit dated compared to the CT6 and 7 series, but its still a compelling option with best in class reliability.

[@alanexknight9810]

justin bouche But still, if you check out JD official site (I believe) , it does have top 1 in 2013 in premium large size luxury and 2nd position both in 2014 and 2015. It's interior doesn't feel dated, or if you guess, wait for 2017 for its new face.

[@coureurdebois]

"It's interior doesn't feel dated" *give me an argument as to why, the infotainment is ancient, the design is from Lexus's bygone era, and the vast amount of high gloss laminated wood gives off a dated vibe.*

[@romel4life375]

Justin Bouche I personally like the car just don't like how much wood there is in the car(poor trees)

[@coureurdebois]

more wood = better, trees are renewable. also, lol you have 3 comments in the spam filter all saying the same thing... weird.

[@romel4life375]

Justin Bouche hmmm weird

[@khoapham4216]

a safe choice and somehow can compare with the Genesis G90

[@BreakingNVain]

TFT instrument cluster?

[@samsonokoro5036]

I agree the design needs a bit of work on the interior especially with the screens like its competitors but u should realise that this has been around since 07 just refreshed from time to time. There's a new design and next generation for the Ls coming next year. Wait till that drops and u'll see levels of tech with the usual comfort and luxury that's excellent. This car seats are more comfortable than the other cars in its class, I have been in all except the audi and Lexus just know how to make comfortable luxury cars that's reliable like no other. Even the materials in this is just superb, I think we should all wait till the next generation coming out next year and then discuss the TFT screens again and design of the interior. I still prefer the design of this Interior to what is available on the audi though. The S class and 7 series have better designed interior I.e. more modern cause they are all new generations.

[@rockhard9369]

[@Benny87654321]

What's the point in taking the knob off the shifter?

[@Cz007_]

To prevent ppl from stealing it, since it twists to install.

[@Onetazien]

The design is great and dated 2017, the last of its kind. Its not long in the tooth whatever that means to him.

[@Oliver2020.]

Yeah I thought that was a strange way to put it too. At the end of the day, it’s only his opinion.

[@gwgrote5]

I'm sorry, and I know I'm alone in this.....but I hate the new grill!!!! What part of that grill says luxury??? To be funny, I was emailed a very old Toyota in amazing shape and It had hardly a grill. Just this tiny few inches wide area across the front with a small Toyota badge. Oh, thanks Cameron for the wonderful review. You were not born when the first Lexus hit the US.1990....and most wouldn't have noticed because it looked like a Corolla/Camry (back in the day). There is such a thing as "old class" luxury. Lexus always had that without screaming I'm rich with a Mercedes.

[@mariomaster0248]

It's a good car. But there are better options on the market.

[@RTCompany]

But if reliability is what you are for, this is the best option.

[@johnthomas3863]

This guy is a total jackass, he know nothing about luxury car history. He sounds like a euro fan boy, Euro luxury cars are breakdown specials and the companies that build them can’t rise to Lexus build quality level. Look at Merc and BMW recall and breakdown history. Just horrible... people that buy that junk just want the badge snobbery.

[@lucascarreviews]

May be a bit dated, but it will last forever.

[@sharkheadism]

Lexus needs to drop that stupid wood steering wheel. That was hot stuff in the early to mid 90s, now it looks outdated. This vehicle needs a lot of aesthetic work inside and out to catch it up to its competition.

[@crxracer805]

Makes it look classy though.

[@Oliver2020.]

What? The ls460 had auto start since 2007…… I know this comment is old but yeah you have your info wrong.

[@sirdanieliii9567]

The LS is over a $100,000. The Lexus is not a value choice. Maybe you should check your facts before making a review video.

[@worldlinerai]

The older LS460 sold for around $75-$80K. If you wanted the long wheelbase and executive package with rear seat recliners, that would bring you up to $90K. The $100K is for the hybrid model LS600h which Lexus attempted to simulate a V12 with a V8 hybrid. Long wheelbase is standard and it comes loaded. The current generation LS500 easily goes over $100K. Lexus dropped the short wheelbase and the midrange trims feature rear seat recliners.

[@boxcarent.3147]

More than enough horsepower. Not a race xar, who cares.
