Toronto Auto Show: Lexus

The new 2007 Lexus flagship is here. Now called the LS460, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class fighter now features not only a larger and more imposing body but also, a new more powerful 4.6L V8 that puts out 380 hp. The transmission is an industry-first 8-speed automatic that drives the rear wheels. Performance will be impressive with an estimated 5.5-second time to 100 km/h. The cabin boasts an impressive array of luxury items including a 19-speaker audio system and rear reclining heated and massaging seats. The LS will be available in a regular or extended wheelbase.
