a vehicle-front … a vehicle-front pedestrian detection system
collision-avoidance steering assist
vehicle-rear detection system
an electrically-operated parking brake which can automatically engage and release when the gearshift enters and leaves the park position
a passenger compartment oxygen level conditioner to maintain oxygen levels in the cabin
electric door locks and power windows that can be remotely activated using a cell-phone
Actually, most of … Actually, most of the technology in the LS 600h L/ 460L originated in the LS 430 or is an industry first. Here are some of the “world’s first” just on the LS 460L:
the 4.6-liter V8 sports Dual VVTi: VVT-iE (variable Valve Timing-intelligent by Electric motor) on the intake side and VVT-i on the exhaust side
eight-speed automatic transmission – the 8 Super ECT
I’ll admit that the … I’ll admit that the Lexus probably very comfortable and luxurious, but a driver’s car it is not. This is a car for the elderly and for people who only care about getting from point A to point B, not the driving experience. You saying the S-Class are for retirees and the elderly makes no sense, it’s the best “All around” car in it’s class and frankly, it’s more fun to drive, and it’s the most respected sedan in the world. Most of the technology of today originally came from an S-Class
If not, the two … If not, the two center vents should have been squared I think. Very easy to the eye. That would have balanced out the center console. Make it look much better.
All you idiots … All you idiots comparing car to car cannot even afford An A3, A Class, 1 series or even the most basic lexus. Dont call another car crap in comparison to another unless you’ve actually driven one let alone owned one.
infiniti doesn’t … infiniti doesn’t have an i-drive clone.
They have a d-pad attached to a scroll knob which is located on the center console rather than on the armrest.
the complaints come … the complaints come from people who don’t like to use computers. Alot of S-class drivers are RETIREES and ELEDERLY asides from the taxi/limo commissions.
Old people can barely send EMAIL, much less navigate through GUI’s.
If there is one thing wrong with the COMMAND its that you have to use the computer just to change the radio station.
BMW’s i-Drive was terrible.
Audi’s MMI copied i-drive but made it easy to use.
So, COMMAND is easy … So, COMMAND is easy to use. But why is it that I’ve been hearing more complaints about that, the IDrive, and the MMI than the touchscreen present in Japanese cars?
“Compared to my car, this car is a NEWB.”
What are you talking about?
“this rear seat you see is only available with a special package on the L model. AND its only for ONE PERSON.”
But isn’t that still a good thing for a car that’s barely $100K?
My S550 hasn’t … My S550 hasn’t given me a single problem. Its an 07′ with 22,000 miles. I bought it brand new.
the LEXUS lane avoidance computer only works with properly drawn LINES ON THE ROAD. Please don’t try to bullshit me and tell me it works off road or on unpainted roads because I know it doesn’t.
FIRST OF ALL… … FIRST OF ALL… while I actually OWN an S550, I assume you are just rattling off features from a LIST rather than having actual knowledge of ownership.
The COMMAND system is VERY easy to use.
My car has full adaptive cruise control with driver dynamic multicontour front seats. Lexux DOESN’T OFFER THAT.
Furthermore, this rear seat you see is only available with a special package on the L model. AND its only for ONE PERSON. Compared to my car, this car is a NEWB.
Does you car have a … Does you car have a system telling you that you might drift into another lane? Does your car have Emergency Steering Assist which reduces the steering gear ratio and prompts the suspension to adopt stiffer settings?Anyway is your car voice activated and if so does it work very well? How hard is it to use that I-drive because aren’t you better off with just a touchscreen?
OK, but you did not … OK, but you did not answer my question about the maintenance/reliability (since that’s why Lexus is #1) of your S550. If you can, tell me how it compares to the LS460. Does your car have to fuel injectors where one squirts directly into the combustion chamber under high pressure, and the other that feeds fuel into the port just above the intake valves because it gets better gas mileage? Does your car have a camera that if you’re distracted, it applies the brakes gently?
That’s bullshit on … That’s bullshit on two counts.
#1 the @550 has far more interior space than the LS460. Therefore it is not overpriced.
#2 The Mercedes has FAR more technology than the Lexus. The automatic park system doesn’t really work. The LS460, unlike my S550 DOES NOT HAVE: massage chairs, infra red night vision, an in-dash LCD screen, or an i-drive that controls the seats.
Why did you choose … Why did you choose a Merc over a Lexus? Aren’t you going to have problems with maintainence with this Merc? Also, why did you waste your money on an overpriced Merc since Lexus has more technology than the Merc?
I’ve been inside … I’ve been inside the LS460. Trust me. This is a nice gimmick but the S-class is 10 times better. I own an S550 which I chose AFTER testing this car, and the BMW 750
The problem is that you still gotta be short to get the most outta the recliner. The regular model without recliner gives you lots of leg space when the front seat is moved up.
