Ermmm! Hello

We've had our LS430 for almost 4 weeks now, and WOW! what a car.

ownership history

60's capri (hers)
wolsley hornet (mine)
some triumphs - tolledos, dolly sprint.
little fiats -uno 55
alfas - sprint and a 33 sportwagon
finally saw some sense and found a toyota corolla and a carina
a honda accord and most recently ran a camry V6 estate for 7 years

plus we've both driven a hat full of others (me professionally)

no wonder chauffeurs pick this, and JD power puts it at the top (lexus 7 years running)

I'm simply flabbergasted, it's fabulous, i've never driven anything that required less of the driver and the sporting performance is impressive for such a luxurious & comfort orientated car.

SIMPLY BRILLIANT!

Welcome to the club mate sounds like your a very happy chap?

Now dont forget to put some photos up of your new found pleasure as we like to see lots

i'd like to get some pics up, it's Canterbury blue (yeah, everyone thinks it's black, then goes oh wow! oh it's really blue) and it has gold badges, hated them at first but now i couldn't care less it drives like a dream.

tickle the throttle and the only indication that you've hit 80 is how things all get smaller in the rear view mirror.

bury the throttle and every passenger is silent! wonderful!

welcome..the LS430 suprises the passengers even more than the driver!

Hi Melvyn,
your enthusiasm comes across in your post. I'll let you into a secret, the enthusiasm will still be there after 5 years. Enjoy, and welcome to LOC.

Bet you wish you had found this car years ago. I've had 2 people sold on Mercs drive my 400 and they are both amazed why there are not more of them.

Its fantastic to hear your comments and your satisfaction with the Lexus . Just thought we would let you know that we have won the JD Power award for the 8th year consecutively ! Hope we can be of your assistance in answering any queries .

You could answer some of these for starters ......
