2008 Lexus GS460 Sedan

Price as Tested :- $59,318

Likes :- Immensely capable grand routier, easy to drive fast, comfortable and predictable . 4-6 liter V8 finally delivers adequate 342hp, and 5,4 seconds 0-60; 8 speed auto trans helps keep highway mileage in mid-20s-5 door shape creates big truck, spacious back seat. mark Levinson stereo, heated and cooled seats, speed-sensitive streening.

Dislikes :- Silly retractable switch panel for mirrors and other similar oddities. Navigation system not intuitive, stubborn humpback body desing is insufficiently elegant for this class of car.

Verdict :- Improvement over show car that started this shape back in 2001 or 2002 but still basically a
Chrysler Airflow. Undoubtedly  good value but will always have to be explained, like sensible shoes.
