Hard luck man!! Try again and please go back to history and read little bit about Lexus and their AMAZING "LS"!!!!!!

I rad something on a site about a LS650, but I think that info was a fake one. Both are great cars, the two of them copying from each other, they are rivals right?

That is the highest ranking they have ever given a vehicle. The only reason it didn't get a 100, is be because the next LS would be better. Also, for the guy that said something about people buying a Lexus over a BMW do it for pricing with available options, you're an idiot. Lexus owners have an average higher income than any other luxury car owner. I'm no fanboy, and I don't own a BMW or Lexus, I'm more of a Maserati guy, but thats just me.

However, according to the review I read at http://www.oncars.com/news-blogs/story/177/2008-Lexus-LS-600h-L-Part-2-of-3-Interior-&-User-Experience it seems that the to cars are VERY distinct from one another in terms of performance and technology. I haven't seen too many of the Lexus' about, but I can say that they are very distinguishable from the BMW. You make some interesting points about the aesthetics of the two cars looking similar.

I haven't said anything so far, but you need to start quoting the source, and not just copying the articles. That's how it works in the internet world. I link to "competitor" sites also because I value their work and I want to give our readers the best information available, which sometimes can be found somewhere else. @Julio: Thanks Julio.

Some bias towards BMW as well, which is good. However, when I compare the old 7 to the lexes, I think the LS looks better, smoother and more elegant. It looks a few years newer than the old 7. If you look at the side of the new 7 and LS, and compare with the old 7. You can definately see that they have tried to make the design more simple without any prominant lines like the LS. In terms of the tailpipes, it is up to personal taste. But definately inspired by Lexus. Another point I would like tomake is look at those huge wheels - think of the replacement costs. I think it must probably cost the owner about 50c per mile just to replace tyres. We all know that run flats are considerably more expensive YET they last half as long. Having said that, I would take the BMW 7 over the Lexus anyday as BMW just sounds so much better! It was extremely entertaining reading the article. Some bias towards BMW as well, which is good.
