2013 Lexus LS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The Jaguar's sports car-like interior design lends it a sporty character, but at the cost of front seat room, perceived even more than actual. The Lexus feels much roomier. The cushy, well-shaped front seats in the Lexus are among the most comfortable in the class. The Jaguar's are nearly as comfortable, though, and I like the BMW's most of all. Despite a plethora of adjustments, the Audi A8's are firmer and less form-fitting than the others. Move to the back seat, and even in the regular wheelbase cars there's plenty of room and comfort for most adults. The long wheelbase only makes sense if the back seat will often carry tall adults, or people who want limo-like legroom even if they don't have the legs of an NBA center. see full Lexus LS review

2013 Lexus LS Powertrain: Cons
Year	Comment
	Like the Jaguar XJ AWD, the Lexus LS 460 F Sport AWD can get from a dead stop to 60 mph in about six seconds. Not too shabby. But the AWD Jaguar has only six cylinders (albeit supercharged ones), while the Lexus has a V8. If you want a breathtakingly quick large sedan, Jaguar also offers the XJ with a boosted V8, as do all of the Germans. So far, none of the F Sport tweaks have included engine modifications. The LS is offered only with the 360-horsepower V8 (380 with rear-wheel-drive), take it or leave it. (Okay, there's the slightly more powerful, slightly more efficient, far more expensive hybrid variant, but it also isn't nearly as quick as the V8-powered Europeans.) This won't change until Lexus follows the Europeans in offering engines boosted by superchargers or turbochargers. Perhaps out of concerns for long-term durability, Toyota has resisted this industry-wide trend. Don't need more thrust than the LS 460 offers? In other aspects, its powertrain is as good as any and better than most. I've already noted the sweet sounds of the engine. The eight-speed automatic partnered with this engine is about as smooth and responsive as a conventional automatic gets. In typical driving, most shifts are undetectable unless you're watching the tach. see full Lexus LS review
