Isn't this engine also used in the Lexus LS?

Believe so, or some version of it

Yup. They've had this in several applications. But Lexus sells less than 10K LS per year. Sales are dwindling as SUVs grow in popularity and it seems like the LS is languishing and ignored. The 01-06 seems to be the peak as far as quality and durability. The LS460 is my favorite but it's terrible as far as durability and quality. The Next Gen went to the turbo 6, and I think it alienates a lot of traditional luxury Q ship buyers that are lol for 8 cylinder power.
Which is interesting. I can't even remember the last time I saw an LS and that car used to be one of the luxury cars to own.

This is why I'm holding on tonight to my 65K mile LS430

Smart to wait until Monday. Not too many shoppers on a Sunday evening.

Not possible. This board told us Toyota trucks were Arnold Schwarzenegger/F150 Hybrids

It's like a degree from A&M. The older ones meant a lot. Today not so much.

Staff - take out the trash.
