While an improvement over previous versions, exterior styling on the 2009 Lexus LS 460 is still rather bland, but the interior is practically flawless. For 2009, the Lexus LS 460 is offered in a base version and a stretched L version that Car and Driver says "adds 4.8 inches in...

Other Choices:

Each of these rivals offer high-performance variants, including the S8, the Alpina B7, and the S63 and S63 AMG, which the LS does not have. Each of these competitors also bears distinct designs inside (and outside) that arguably feel more lavish than the LS 460's simpler, more conservative style. And instead of a V-12 flagship, as these three European sedans have, the LS claims a gasoline-electric flagship called the LS 600h L. The LS 460 sports a straightforward instrument panel layout, without the use of a centralized, screen-driven interface like BMW's iDrive, which some drivers will appreciate. All-wheel drive is available in the S-Class and comes standard in the A8 but is not available in either the 7-Series or LS 460. The LS 460 is significantly cheaper than the 7-Series or S-Class.
