Lexus LS
This big luxury sedan helped this brand carve out a great reputation and large clientele. Its passenger compartment is not only posh, but it has a finish that sets the standard for the industry. Over the years, the handling has been improved as has the mechanical sophistication. In addition to the LS460 with a 4.6-litre V8, there’s the LS60h, which has a hybrid engine that helps it stack up against the big V12-powered German sedans.
