Lexus LS Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Lexus LS LS 460 2005

Luxury and opiance, leather and lace, dreamy driving within a boxy shape. Yep that is my impression of the top executive type Lexus that we know from all of the critics reports is so often at the top of the dealership tree, winning award after award for service, comfort, quality, quantity, reliability, colours, deals, people, toffee apples, cream cakes, I could go on and on. But one of the things that always seems to be ignored is the awful exterior shape of some of these things, I mean, is it those far eastern designers trying to compensate for something else! I, along with thousands of others cannot fault the brand, but i just wish they would step into the present day and borrow some thoughts from Pininfarina, or Alfa Romeo, (shapes and design, not the actual cars), the Lexus just seem to be so boring and lacking in this department. The car i used was a petrol engine (really big fuel guzzler), monster with an appetite for garage stops. Guest mate around 2o to the gallon, (which is bloody awful in today’s ever increasing Environmental friendly society we live in). Cannot knock the car, will not knock the service, dealerships and all that, but there are other choices dressed in a far more appealing outer skin, than this one.
