Ten years later and this car is still... HOT!!!🔥 ...The styling and tech in the LS was ahead of it's time. This car even in 2018, can hold it's own with any car on the road today... And 9x outta 10 be more reliable!💯
If you never test drove this BEAST,you really should,its a thing of beauty,just like the whole car is,crazy POWER,SPEED,COMFORT,for the money,LEXUS is that brand,Mercedes-Benz and BMW of course are great cars,but as far as mechanically sound,LEXUS IS THAT CAR,i test drove the 460L,all im gonna say is WOWWWWWWW and im not exaggerating one bit,test drive it,you'll see...
@@mylord4890 In my opinion Mercedes Benz S CLASS is no doubt KING,but the upkeep as far as maintenance is INSANELY HIGH,unless you have BIG MONEY the Lexus LS models is the COMMON SENSE choice...
Convenient you typed that and have mercedesbenz in your name. LS king baby, took the Germansby storm and outsold the S class and 7 series when released.@@mercedesbenzs600bash
I have the 2007 lexus ls460l fully loaded. Back seat controls and radar. I have 160,000 miles and it is like brand new. These car are so awesome to drive.
Even with the driver window down a good part of the outdoor noise is blocked off. That blew my mind like crazy. Then you put up the window and you can't even hear anything outside. Talk about the pursuit of perfection.
If I had the money, I would so go out and by this car. It is so freaking awesome. Nice tour Kyle. I love the auto open and auto close trunk and the auto close door feature is awesome.
Kyle this should be your next car. One of the worlds quietest cars. If I remember right Inside Line said the car has an interior noise level of less than 60dB on the highway.
I have never seen such a secluded engine before! HAHA Other than that, this car is absolutely beautiful. I drive a 2002 Avalon and I can barely look at it after seeing this car LOL I also love the automatic door close... I just recently discovered that certain cars drop the windows a tiny bit when you open the car door (like the Mustang and the 911 you videoed) and that is so cool! My friend's GranTurismo does that too.
Absolutely gorgeous car...after going through the reviews I saw one guy said "All automatic windows? really?"...I pity the poor soul,My 1999 gs300 has all automatic windows,it's nothing new.Lexus is the best vehicle for the money.
penvon My 2005 Toyota Avensis has all automatic windows, for the driver and for all passengers. The windows are also fully automatic in the back seats as well. And it has heated seats in the front, and automatic window washers, electric side mirrors, auto dimming rear view mirror... So yeah, it is not nothing new as you have said my friend. :) And this LS.... it is my dream car! Pursuit of perfection, an automotive masterpiece that is reliable as a tank. Love it! :)
Im looking at this generation because i had a 2001 LS430 and it was THE NICEST car i have ever owned, probably the best car i have even been in possibly. I traded it in for a Tahoe for a 4wd and i still miss that ls430
2:59 I'm having a full on hemorrhage. I've been looking for a video of the 2008 Lexus LS for days that shows its rear turn signal lights so that I can find of if Lexus put LEDs instead of filament bulbs. My question has been answered.
I used to hate the Ls when compared to an A8, 7 series, S class and even an Infiniti m. But it's really a nice car and probably the most reliable and solid car. For this model. The new one doesn't rally compare to the new full sized luxury sedans, but this one does...
Cassette Deck to me means Class. I guess that's a valid argument. The GS450 interior cannot be beaten. The ES350 interior has got to be the cleanest interior out there to date.
Will definitely be my next car. Hopefully in the next 3-5 months. I need something big, comfortable and reliable. I hope to find one without all the wood grain though.
Awesome car and review. You outdid yourself. It's too bad that dealership blasts that music so loud that your comments are obscured. They should cut that audio level by about half! So annoying when businesses overdo it with overly loud music; it turns most people off.
I also love the auto door shut feature, but the one thing i loved probably the most was the button on the bottom left of the steering wheel. When i came to the stop, the guy said push that button and now take your foot off the brake and the car remained stationary...I'm telling you people, this car is absolutely incredible and is well worth $35-$40K
A test drive would have been nice ..after all .this is what the car is all about ..the ride quality.. ps the 'music' sucks bad ..thanks for the review.
derickj1976 Sadly I did not, but I got a once in a lifetime deal on an 06 Chrysler 300 Hemi C from my neighbor after her husband past. 11 grand cash and it only has 54k on the odometer.
Shaun Jay that's good bro, I'm glad you got that sweet deal. Is it loaded up??? I guess it really wouldn't matter cause you got a car that wasn't barely even driven at all.
i loved everything about this video...except the music :p (Derick and the Dominoes was good though) but i really do LOVE the Lexus LS460L, it is so sexy. besides that, i think you need to do the 2011 LS460L. The LS is the only car that fits my tall self (6'6) all the others had the rear view mirror in my line of sight (minor safety issue)
When he was doin the bluetooth thing, it would be funny if after he said thank you, it was like, your welcome. That would be a huge turning point in technology
What an incredible machine! This shows what Japan is capable of when making Luxury cars and boy can they make them. Europe better watch out because people aren't just looking for prestige and looks anymore but, value and quality! I am sold on this carXD! I wonder if most Lexus owners if know where their cars are made:(
UnitedRecording I've got an 08 GS460 same engine/trans as this LS and I'm at almost 165k, I've done nothing aside from oil changes in the 40k I've put on
I went to this year's auto show and I liked how much Cadillac has improved. I sat in both and I could definitely tell that the Cadillac has a better quality interior than Lexus and miles ahead of Infiniti. My Cadillac has been good to me, but it is older. Of course, this is more applicable for the newer ones. I don't think the same could be said for anything previous to about 2014-15ish.
@Gil8199 no problem, that's one of the biggest gripes that people have about it is that the rear end of the LS, looks very similar to the ES, which costs nearly half as much.
I just got to drive one of these the other day and this car is like nothing from this world... If you're all out on having a badass V8, saving on mpg's, and being lazy, then this is the car for you (and me i wish). I know the car in this video is quiet, but trust me, when you're driving,...it's loud..and when i was driving with the auto stick, i kept shifting up saying holy shit, how many gears does this thing have? and the owner says eight and said he gets around 22MPG.
That's what Martin clunes drives in the hit British comedy/drama, Doc Martin. he has a new Lexus every season. Starting with a 2004 ls430. Which he drove into a bog 45 minuets Into the first episode. This car reminds me of my 2011 745li long wheel base. Just the body style I guess?
Love your reviews although the music playing is distracting. We can't really tell on TH-cam how good the system sounds we just hear tiny music. I for one could do without it in the review.
I am possibly getting this exact model and year but with a cherry red exterior and beige leather at a used car dealer in Salt Lake City, Utah. I just hope they’re able to approve me for it considering that I’m a first time car buyer.. I pray that I’m able to get it.
His microphone doesn't do justice to the Levinson Hifi. The Levinson in my GS300 is one of the reasons I put up with the 15mpg around town. Does that motor dealer have a public broadcast license? And why would you want to deter prospective customers with that racket.
I have a 2008 lexus ls 460 that I purchased from carmax. I love the car as I am a lexus man. I have two issues with this car. #1 Lexus did not make a bluetooth for this year. Pretty strange to me as the ls model is the flagship. My #2 issue is that all the lexus models that I have owned from a Gs 300 to Gs 430. Also the Sc 430. Now on my ls 460 have all had to have the control arm bushings replaced which is a common issue for all Lexus models. A relatively cheap fix if not performed at the lexus dealer. Other than those two issues is no other automobile more reliable in my opinion. The ride and the performance of this vehicle is unparalleled. Proud lexus owner.
Great car but the musical background was annoying and did not help the presentation at all, besides I would have liked what the buttons the presenter touched did.
Bought this car at 155k miles for like 8 grand a year ago. Kept up with maintenance and still runs like a dream. Did a muffler delete and she sounds mean and still has most of the horses she was born with. No regret getting this car. If your getting a car and have around 10 grand I betcha could easily find one of these and make it your own today.

Totally agree 100%
Yes I also absolutely agree 😊
THIS is what automobile engineering is all about. flawless interior. and it has a V8
One of the best V8's ever made too
what's the MPG on this? I've heard of people really getting good gas mileage
@@JHsadler
I love my 460. Favorite feature is the car lighting up when you walk up to it without pressing a button
I found one locally for about 12K. All white, fully loaded with black and Cherry wood interior. It's absolutely fantastic.
Really nice car. I liked it so much in this video, I went and purchased a used 2008 LS460 this week. Obsidian Black with cashmere seats.
how much did you pay for it?
Alex Andreades $22,950 with 84,600 miles
How are you liking it?
Martin Rademakers I want the same thing but a 2010 same color obsidian black with black interior
Gunslinger205 Same here but I want mine to be white and an '07
Is anyone else coming back to these old saabkyle reviews from time to time? They are like TH-cam time capsules.

A lot of technology for one car!
And I was blown away when he turned the air and set the temperature with the voice commands.
this video has like the best songs in the random background from the dealer, nice vid dude!
Just bought mine for 9900. Charcoal with black interior over cherry wood. Best car buy ever
Just bought this Lexus Saturday for 5300 I’m so in love with it and only 120k miles
Where did you find 1 for 5300?
JUSQ 82 on offer up
JUSQ 82 I got one and it’s only have 89k
How's it going a year later? Any issues or costly repairs?
@@Grunklowe nothing really just did a routine oil change last month and still runs good
This is a really pretty Lexus I found one at a used car dealership locally with 137k miles very pretty definitely would want to try to get it
lexus ls 430 is my car. 256000 miles and counting. very reliable car. no major problems!!!!!
Kyle this should be your next car. One of the worlds quietest cars. If I remember right Inside Line said the car has an interior noise level of less than 60dB on the highway.

I like it even today the grace and personality of this car is remarkable ls 430 and 460 are the most dashing attractive car till date
Should have moved the car away from that dealer Music sucks.
Rod Sapyta I liked it being there because it shows how quiet the cabin is when he shut the door.
Lmfao your rite......
You don't like pina coladas?
...or making love at midnight??
Damn that startup was SILENT.
I’m kind of glad that the dealership was blasting music because when you got in that car it completely went away
I rate the 2011 Lexus LS460 a 9 out of 10. 9 out of 10 is a very good rating. It is very well detailed and crafted.
my favourite sedan so far👍
I love how the music goes quiet right as h rolls the windows up
I used to hate the Ls when compared to an A8, 7 series, S class and even an Infiniti m. But it's really a nice car and probably the most reliable and solid car. For this model. The new one doesn't rally compare to the new full sized luxury sedans, but this one does...

Aww. I wanted to hear the engine with a stuck throttle...Keep up the great videos Kyle. We all appreciate your hard work.
2008 Lexus LS460, 34,406 miles.
im obbsessed with this car....its sooo cool.....i really like the 600h
By far the best looking LS.
I'm gonna need this...
Will definitely be my next car. Hopefully in the next 3-5 months. I need something big, comfortable and reliable. I hope to find one without all the wood grain though.
i don't think thats possible
But...why
Jordan brooks I think they all come with wood
Brake actuator flush cost 2500 bucks and is a defective part.

It's almost unnerving just how quiet the interior is...
I know. I love a nice pin-quiet car interior.
Damn Kyle you’ve come a long way 👏🏽
By far the looking LS aside from the 2001-2006. I can't get over the engine bay.
someday... she'll be mine.. someday... :)
@NoH8 Maybe he still in relationship yet!
I have a Lexus l S 400 I think it was a 1997 and it was the Boss I will buy this Lexus 460
wow i was looking @ the price of this car and damn $45,000 that's a lot just hope they drop it too $30,000 SOON!!
