( www.alltfl.com/) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! The Lexus LS has a reputation as a solid luxury limousine, but this F Sport changes things up a bit by offering a compromise that leans toward handling and being more fun to drive. At $88,000, this LS 500 isn't "cheap", but it is a bargain against the competition. Nathan explains why in this review!

In 1991 an LS 400 sticker price was $44,100 which today is nearly $100K. So yes..88K is probably not bad.

@@tinhinnh Wrong, reliability wasn't known from day one. The original LS400 had a few recalls at first, but that isn't the point. The point is that the original LS400 provided the same or a better experience than a 420SEL for the price of price of a 190E 2.6 or 300E. The LS500 is more reliable then the Germans, and the S and 7 outsell it. Reliability isn't enough nor was the only thing the original car made it's claim on.

The original LS 400 and the Infiniti Q45 were baller vehicles. In the late 80s & early 90s, if you were a rapper, you had to have one of these cars or a Ac Legend coupe, preferably. Times changed as people's money got longer and the price of a S Class or 7 series pushed farther away from the LS. People wanted cars that others couldn't afford, and the LS was affordable on a good lease deal as customers left for Bentleys and RRs. The LS appeals to me still as a reliable family car with elegant style.

On the other hand, the TTv6 is set up for quick torque off the line, and it pulls around 30mpg highway. The v8's torque doesn't really snap to until your foot's into the pedal quite a ways. I think they did the right thing by the car and how it'll be driven BUT it cost Lexus the "prestige" of being in the "big v8 sedan club". I think the 460's v8 was tuned a bit differently than the current 5.0.

Yes, but the fact remains that it is a "tarted up Avalon". That's what I've even called mine in the past. My 94 ES300 was indeed a "tarted up Camry" The Avalon(now discontinued) is longer, wider, and lower than a Camry, has a longer wheelbase, larger interior and trunk, as well as fuel tank. Just look at other manufacturers as they share platforms and engines. Take VW/Audis MQB platform for example. It would be a little disingenuous to call a Q3 a tarted up Audi A1 or A3(mqb), as it's currently based on the longer(mqb) VW Tiguan. Lexus/Toyota use that 3.5L in many vehicles to save $ and because it's smooth and reliable. Both our 14 RX and 13 ES have that 3.5L V6 with 430k combined trouble free miles. Completely different story with our previous, and slightly more fun to drive, MB's and BMW's. My next daily Lexus will be an LS.

The LS is not a sport sedan. It's never been a sport sedan and was never intended to be one. I don't know why it's trying to be one now. It's sad that it's not the elegant, dignified V8 luxo-barge that it was originally intended to be. Flagship luxury sedans have become really odd though. You've got the 7-series that looks like an army tank, the S-class whose interior looks like a tacky Vegas casino, and now this LS trying to be a sport sedan. Weird times we live in. The automotive symbols of affluence just seem so unclassed and undignified nowadays, which I find odd. Maybe it's a difference between new money versus old money.

Well at least they have their respective niches covered. And I think it’s just a matter of being with the times and reflecting the target markets they’re in. That said I do want Toyota to bring over the Century as their or Lexus’ flagship. Will never buy one but just seeing more of them would make me smile.

And that change of course is in part why it doesn't sell anymore. The interior is tight, the ride isn't as smooth as before and the loss of the V8 all caused people to walk. They made a critical error in leaving the previous LS460 on the market for so long allowing the competition to leave them behind by a generation. They may as well do what Audi is doing with the A8, make the next LS an EV an just start over.

Nathan, you need to answer the question of why, after decades of owner loyalty, no one more loyal than a Lexus owner, then why oh why did that demographic run away? 2022 sales were no more than 280 units/mo in the US. I submit for your consideration "it's the ride." None of the reviewers address the difference between the previous LS generations vs. your 2018-2023? "It's the ride" that the target demographic is using for buy or no buy. The runflats are the reason that buyers have fled. I'm not talking about non-demographic-buyers...they wouldn't be buying anyway. "It's the ride."
