Well NA V8 that is. The 2016 Lexus LS460 had one of the last NA v8 engines. I had a 2008 LS460 with that same engine and it was a gem, just like all of their previous V8s, which I owned as well.
The reason I am bringing this up is, the next generation LS will have a twin turbo v6, which is a huge letdown to me and many other LS fans.
More importantly, the sad truth is very clear. NA v8 days in luxury cars are over. Some sports cars might hang on to them, but who knows.
With that said. Ill be hanging on to my 92 LSC, my 420 SEL, and be buying another LS460 at some point. As much as I like turbocharging, I don't need the complexity, the expense and worrying about things breaking down.
Any chance of owning a newer S550 must be done with an extended warranty and the car must be sold soon after the warranty is finished.
I even though about a 09 ot 10 CL550, I think from there on its a 4.4 TT.
Just thinking out loud.
