| If you don't care about badge status but appreciate value and quality, LS is the only luxury car worth considering. The options list is not an option; everything you could possibly want is included. Some drivers may find that confusing, and certainly the dashboard looks like an airliner's flight deck. LS is not only good value; it's also superbly engineered. There are times when the only indication that the engine is running is the rev counter it's so incredibly quiet. On almost any road, occupants are pampered by an exceptional ride. The suspension soaks even the most uneven road surface with ease. Whether you are travelling in the front or rear, the experience is sublime. And there's lots of room for everyone, with big seats that are so comfortable. Two things that LS buyers don't get are an up-market badge and decades of luxury car heritage. But it really doesn't matter. |
