Melting Interior

The rating would have been much higher if the door panels are not melting. The door panels and the areas around the steering, glove box, the sides of the consoles are very soft and easily dent. You can accidentally poke your nails in any of those areas and leave a mark or a dent. Those areas has a soft melting touc. I heard there were recalls on the newer models for those interior parts. I hope they will do a recall soon for the 2009 models. I bought this car originally from Florida, so I guess the heat in Florida cause these interior parts to get very soft and melt.

This is my third Lexus. I've owned a 1996 Lexus coupe, a 2001 LS 430, and now a Lexus LS 460. I believe the 460 is both smooth and powerful. I like the wind tunnel design and the 8 speed transmission. I also drive a 2006 Corvette coupe. This car accelerates with a rush, and the controls are where they were on the LS 430. I like the changes to the navigation system, the bluetooth phone and the hard disk on which to record my music.

This is my 5th Lexus 400 series. The 08 is far and away the best of the best. Very smoothe ride like all my Lexus' have been. But, this one is the most quiet of them all.

Great car - lousy navigation system

Luxurious car. Great ride, quiet as a tomb and comfortable. Fit and finish is great, just don't roll down the rear windows at highway speeds. The noise and interior vibrations will beat you to death. The sound system and power door locking system is fantastic. The navigation system cannot be added to or changed while you are moving - very poor "feature". My wife has an Acura with a much better nav system.

Nice car, but just an expensive Toyota!

Just traded from years of driving BMWs and Mercedes for my first Lexus, the LS 460 with all the options except laser cruise. It is a nice car with great creature comfort features, but is it really worth the price tag compared to the build quality of german sedans (the jury is still out with me!!)? There is a lot of wind noise that should not be in a car of this price! It handles surprisingly well for a large sedan and gets great gas mileage for such a powerful engine!
