subject: Essex County Lexus Dealer To Offer The Ls 460l, Named The Best Car Overall [print this page] Remember that scene in Crocodile Dundee? The one where the guy pulls out a knife and Dundee pulls out his own knife and says, Thats not a knife. THATS a knife. Well, that is kind of how I feel about the Lexus LS 460L like I want to pull up next to the guy in the Prius at the stoplight and say, Thats not a car. THIS is a car. I know, I know. It sounds like an obnoxious thing to do. But I cant help it. The Lexus LS 460L has everything, and I want to flaunt it.
But that isnt all the LS 460L has. Accolades are a huge part of the automotive industry and tend to be hard to come by these days with the market taking a dip, but Essex County Lexus dealers are extremely excited to hear that Consumer Reports has named the LS 460L one of its Top Picks for 2010. In fact, it didnt just win a spot on the list of Top Picks; Warren Lexus LS drivers will note that it was named the Best Car Overall in the annual ratings. The honor is a great thing to have if you work for Lexus; the final standings are based on the combination of consumer response and the thoughts of some of the top journalists in the auto industry.
And just exactly how does Consumer Reports come to its conclusions? Well, to answer that question, we will have to take a look at the three categories that landed Warren County Lexus dealers this huge honor. The first category is the road test, which consists of more than 50 tests and evaluations. As a high-performing luxury vehicle, the LS 460L passed the road test with flying colors. The next test was for reliability, and any Essex County Lexus driver will tell you that reliability is a constant factor in the production of Lexus vehicles. The third and final set of tests revolved around the overall safety of the car. Looking at data collected by government and insurance organizations and the presence of available electronic stability control, Warren Lexus LS drivers were very easily handed another feather in their driving caps.
Consumer Reports had some really fantastic things to say about the LS 460L. The LS scored an outstanding 99 out of 100 in our road test, making it our highest-rated vehicle. This large cruiser pampers its passengers with a comfortable ride and luxurious driving environment, including a roomy, well-crafted, and exceptionally quiet interior. It offers a plethora of electronic amenities, including an optional self-parking system. Yet, its controls are easy to use. Although the LS isn't exactly fun to drive, its efficient 380-hp V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission deliver smooth, brisk acceleration and a relatively good 21 mpg overall, the same as a Honda Accord V6. All-wheel drive and a hybrid version are available. Price: $76,572.
