I want a luxobarge...

2010-2012s

Panther platform

LS400 is just RWD camry with a V8, and a shitty V8 at that.
The interiors are low quality and the cars are nothing exceptional, just a shitty economy car essentially.
European luxury offerings from the same time are much higher quality cars, much higher quality interiors and built more solid with more effort into chassis and suspension design.
I wanted an LS400 til I made this realization then I wanted a 190e or similar old mercs instead.

>based lexus piece of boring garbage shit fuck

god please take me now

When the LS400 came out it was superior to everything else out there. Unlike Mercedes they came standard with A/C.

i really don't understand all the americans shunning of euro luxobarges in favor of lexuses, they're so fucking bad by comparison

is it guilt over them nukems and lasting distrust of germans?

It's just weaboos jacking off over anything from japan, a logical comparison between the two and you can see which one is superior in damn near every aspect.
I wanted an LS400 til I test drove a handfull of them and they all had problems like the dash malfunctioning or all the seats being destroyed, interior plastic cracked everywhere.
Get in an older merc or bmw and the interiors are still in good condition and things are holding up much better, less use of plastic clips and more use of screws etc holding everything together.
The LS400 is not a quality car, it's just a car, they don't hold up to the test of time like the euro cars do, they just fall apart, after all like I said, it's just a RWD camry with a shitty V8 in it.

Well generally when people are talking about 9-5s then they're talking about original gen, not new. The Saab the first guy posted was an original gen.

NGs aren't really cheap and easy to find like 9-5s are

easy to find like OGs are*

NGs I can imagine are also a maintenance nightmare compared to OG, and quality in general would be worse since NG Saab was their last breath
