Lexus LS 
The entry model, a veritable misnomer when describing the LS, relies on a 385-hp V8 with an eight-speed automatic, the only transmission available. All-wheel drive, standard on long-wheelbase models, is available. The Hybrid version, built on the long-wheelbase chassis, has a combined power rating of 438 horsepower for the electric -gas engine package. A CVT is the only transmission available. The F Sport package improves the chassis dynamics without adding any extra power.
Pros
- Very smooth eight-speed transmission
- Cutting-edge hybrid version
- Unparalleled reliability
- Unequalled finish
- Factory-standard AWD (extended wheelbase)
Cons
- Underwhelming ride
- Disappointing hybrid version
- Lifeless steering
- Anti-skid needs work
