The LS's Perfection Pursuit Slower Than Expected

Posted Image

It's just a blurb, so I'll post the whole thing:

The Lexus LS 460 fell short of its claimed 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds in a road test in the latest issue of Car and Driver magazine. The C&D testers couldn't get the car to complete the sprint in any less than 6.0 seconds. Braking distances were also unusually long. The car took 209 feet to come to a stop from 70 mph, the magazine said. That's nearly the same as the GMC Seirra's 210 foot braking distance. The new Mercedes S-Class, by comparison, takes 172 feet to stop from the same speed.

So that's why it needs pre-collision radar laser whatever.

Hey... you leave it alone! If you give it a city block's worth of space, an hour, and all your patience, it'll park itself!!! :angry:

:rolleyes::lol:

I can't believe Toyota would tweak their numbers to gain a phantom 'statistical advantage'.

[/sarcasm]

Gee, it's not like Toyota's ever been busted on their hp figures, or their ground clearance figures, or their interior volume measurements. Oh wait, they have. Nevermind.

....you forgot adding Scion's sales to Toyota's so they could brag about outselling Chevrolet last year!
