General Comments

I have the new face-lift IS200 Lexus currently, but was given the distinct pleasure of having a GS430 Sport delivered to my door by the local Lexus centre when my car was delayed prior to delivery for 2 days.

What can I say other than my father has a Merc E-430 (similar power/spec etc... but £10k more!) and even he said it was by far the best car he had ever experienced, and he is not easily impressed!

Blistering performance, superb specification (touch-screen DVD very nice), and fair economy from that big/smooth 4.3 V8 (26 mpg!)

If you are looking for a luxury car - do not even consider buying a BM, Jag, Audi or Merc until you have at least driven one of the Lexus range.

'Lexus - the relentless pursuit of perfection'?

I would say it should be - 'Lexus - Perfection obtained'!
