Overview & Reviews

Apart from a new adaptive air suspension package (which also includes variable-ratio steering, 19-inch wheels and upgraded brakes) for the long-wheelbase "L" version, the Lexus LS 460 is unchanged for 2008.

• Serene ride, intelligent cabin design, top-notch materials, powerful V8 engine and slick eight-speed transmission.

• Base suspension allows too much body movement when driven aggressively on a twisty road, brakes can seem touchy at first.

  Transmission noise - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By ted - March 25 - 6:20 am

  Previously owned a LS 430. LS 460 similar with improvements. Great audio system and ride but not sports car like in quality.

  Big transition from GS 430 - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By rnovaq71 - March 8 - 5:26 pm

  This LS460 is a big step from the 05 LS 430 I owned and a quantum leap from the 06 GS 430 I just traded up from. This LS 460 is some machine. It does everything well, drives like nothing else Ive driven. Just silky smooth!

  Poetry in Motion - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By aproforyou - January 21 - 9:26 am

  This is my third Lexus. Ive owned a 1996 Lexus coupe, a 2001 LS 430, and now a Lexus LS 460. I believe the 460 is both smooth and powerful. I like the wind tunnel design and the 8 speed transmission. I also drive a 2006 Corvette coupe. This car accelerates with a rush, and the controls are where they were on the LS 430. I like the changes to the navigation system, the bluetooth phone and the hard disk on which to record my music.

  2008 LS 460 - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By ken - November 21 - 6:56 pm

  We went with the Black, with Tan Interior. Great car, I get total strangers coming up to me and telling me what a great looking car I have. That never gets old. Rides great, very comfortable, easy to use nav, love the back up camera and sensors, door auto close and trunk auto open and close, heated and cooled front seats and heated rear. Fair gas mileage, about 17 in town and 19 on Highway. This is well worth the money, will never own anything else.

  Another Home Run - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By Mike Chadwick - April 19 - 7:30 am

  This is my second LS, the first was a 1995 LS 400, I ran it for 15 years. This car is very much the same, just much more advanced, smooth and powerful. Lexus is getting pricey is the only bad thing, but once youre used to this car no other even comes close. I tried to find a more economical replacement but there are none on the market. The German cars that are in the same league are unreliable and even more overpriced than this one, and because I keep my cars forever theyre not an option for me. If I leased it wouldnt matter, outside of how much time you care to waste in a car dealership.

  A car to love! - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By xman - February 28 - 5:40 pm

  I love this car! Very comfortable and smooth. Quiet on freeway and car just cruises. The 8 speed transmission keeps car even more quiet.

  Almost perfect - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By robert - January 22 - 11:23 am

  I have taken several long trips, and the car has handled like a dream. I averaged about 27.8 mpg driving 78 mph. I arrive w/o feeling road weary. The only area of disapointment is the Voice Command System. Lexus needs to go back to the drawing board and make changes. I suggest the computer be programed to accept the zip code since it is often incapable of understanding the city name. I have on several occasion made a game out of it by allowing other passengers to get the computer to accept their commands, most often with no success. I strongly dislike having to stop in order to program.

  Excellent Car - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By KJM090 - November 6 - 12:20 pm

  True luxury vehicle with no real drawbacks. Acceleration excellent at all speeds and driving conditions. Went with all the bells and whistles. No wind noise experienced at highway speeds so far. Driver feedback from steering wheel could be greater compared to a M45 or 5 series. Liked LS 460 ride and street acceleration much better than considerably more expensive 7 series. Much more luxurious and larger than 5 series or M45. Great mileage so far. Fit and finish are excellent. Only driven 1500 miles so far but includes lots of driving including highways and rough back roads. Extremely comfortable.

  The Best - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By Ferdi - April 23 - 1:40 am

  Waited for 2008 model because of the wind noise, grabby brakes I read for 2007, but I have this car for a month now and I dont see any of these complaints. The LS 460 is smoother, slightly quieter and faster than my 2001 LS 430, although there is a little engine noise on low speed which I think is the current design. The brakes are as good or better than my LS 430. The rear seat leg room is more than enough. I dont see this small footrest complaint for 07, this car is simply the best.

  Nearly Flawless - 2008 Lexus LS 460
  By Dave D - December 19 - 3:36 pm

  This is my 4th Lexus and my first LS and it wont be my last. This is a true work of art and a brilliant machine. The car rockets from zero to 60, opens up and is cruise-like at 70 MPH plus. The ride is so quiet and serene it is easy to forget you are actually in a car even at high speeds. The LS is unbelievably quiet even at all speeds & in the city. Even driving at 50 MPH with the sun roof open is quieter than most vehicle with a closed sunroof. The interior is impeccable and is likely nicer than many living rooms you will encounter. The car surrounds you in luxury at every turn from the plush heated/vented seats and roomy feel to the easy to reach controls and tech features. Overall a gem.
