    5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

    Yes I have moved on to a MB S class. After waiting 13 years what a disappointment. Lexus have lost their way. MB an absolute delight. I am back in love with my car, just like I was with my LS400 and TWO LS430's.

    5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

    I I have now had my LS500(with air suspension) for 6 months. I can spend another page on some of it's shortcomings, but with regard to the ride, I feel that is a downgrade from my previous LS's(400, 430 and 430 post 2005). Unfortunately it was delivered with the tyres inflated to 44PSI!! It...

    I own a LS430 mark2(2005 model) Still the best car I have ever owned.Decided to skip the LS gen 4 which had no appeal relative to my 2005 model. Looking forward to 5th gen LS.

    Sorry to be pedantic,but rear and front cross traffic alerts are quite different from the blind spot monitor which is an aid whilst on the road ,not reversing out of car spaces.

    5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

    Hard to say about this car until one views in the flesh.Not a fan of the extra long wheelbase(as a previous LS400 and current LS 430 owner).This will be the single most thing that will stop me from buying it.In general I think it's the right direction for the LS and the whole Lexus line-up.Now...

    5th Generation (2018+) Lexus LS 500 & LS 500h Megathread

    Disagree here! I think the rear is sensational.The front is the least appealing aspect.Guess I have never been a spindle grill fan.
