I like it and think its about time for lexus to join that super-sedan segment. Its funny that they are the most expensive of the bunch though (says the chart on automobile mag).

i believe the ls460 has the same type of design where the exhaust tip is built into the rear bumper. either way, they both lay it down! :blob:

my immediate family has three Toyotas, so I suppose that entitles me to laugh it up.

that could technically fail inspections.. aston martin did something similar..

or it could technically fail period.

the only toyotas that fail are the ones made in america. so you don't have to worry bout this one. :2cooleek:

Where are the trucks made? I never thought I'd say this, but I'd take an 07 Tundra over Ford's or Chevy's medium duty offerings. My only problem with the Tundra is the steep sticker

I guess you haven't seen the latest tailgate and bed issues people who actually use their trucks to haul stuff are having.

Nope, if I were in the market I'd do some research. My experiences with the new Tundra are when my coworker drives us to eat out for lunch.

... you know what, though, with 5000 miles on the clock the CEL came on.
