Initial thoughts -
- Very quiet - not quite LS but very close and certainly quieter than Merc/BMW/Audi
- very fast especially 30-70
- toy heaven!!! integrated bluetooth, swivelly headlamps, reversing camera etc
- build quality is astonishing as is attention to detail - the damping action on glovebox and ashtray is a joy to see!!
- sporty handling - comfortable but very chuckable. Only minor complaint is ride can be a bit "pattery" at low speeds on rippled roads but maybe that's just me used to the LS and its soft ride.
- I think it looks very nice and a friend commented it looked "very solid like an Audi".
Overall a very impressive car and definitely on my shopping list for next time.
