Driver's Seat: With Lexus LS460, it's the inside that counts - Pittsburgh Post Gazette
Price: If you have to ask . well, OK, $75,080. Marketer's pitch: "Someday your life will flash before your eyes. Make it worth watching. Conventional wisdom: "Worth watching" also includes helicopters, ball gowns and tuxes, and big cities. Smoothness showdown: Cut Mr. Driver's Seat in half each October and you'll see one more ring has been added. Pondering his own life flashing before his eyes, he started to dream big for his birthday. Then we'll move out of stratospheric sticker prices down the road with the Acura RLX and the wannabe of the pack, the Kia Cadenza, and see if that last 25 grand is really well spent. The LS460 drapes occupants in all the luxury one would expect in this price bracket. The back seat: Keeping a chauffeur in mind, the rear seat room offers beyond-generous accommodations. Though the driver's seat moves all the way back when the car shuts down, Sturgis Kid 4. 0 reported his feet didn't even notice from back there. And the electric rear sunshade keeps the skin from turning red at the touch of a button. In control: One would call the stereo and heater controls "traditional" -- "dated" sounds so gauche. Rather than whiz-bang touch screen graphics, we're treated with two chrome dials and a strip of buttons for the radio and another strip of buttons for the heater control.
