	The '''[[Lexus\|Lexus]] LS''' is a V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive luxury car that serves as the flagship of [[Toyota]]'s luxury [[Lexus]] division. A length of over five meters (200 in.) gives the LS a "large car" classification in Europe as well as in the United States. According to reviews, the Lexus LS has one of the most silent cabins among modern cars and is sometimes hailed as one of the most refined, well-engineered, and technologically advanced vehicles in the high-end luxury car segment. As the LS' suspension is tuned primarily for ride comfort and isolation, the model is often accused of not being as sporty as German competitors such as the [[BMW 7 Series]]. The exterior features superb fit and finish and one of the lowest drag coefficients of any sedan on the market.
