The Lexus LS460 is an understated full-size luxury liner that goes quietly and reliably about its business—yawn. Aware of its flagship’s lack of visual zest—and perhaps young, image-conscious buyers—Lexus has released the Lexus LS460 Touring Edition for 2011. For the Touring Edition, Lexus slaps on a sport body kit and 19-inch five-spoke wheels (18-inchers come on the all-wheel-drive model) and slathers on a coat of Smoky Granite Mica dark gray paint. The interior is outfitted with leather sport seats, wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and matte-brown wood dash trim.
The Touring Edition looks quite smooth, although it does little to up the sedan’s dynamic equation, lacking as it does the Sport package–equipped LS460’s sport suspension and steering tweaks. So the LS460 Touring Edition is for LS buyers who want a sportier look without any of the sport; if that tickles your fancy, you’ll need $73,875 for a rear-wheel-drive model. Lexus intends to limit sales volumes for the Touring Edition, however, so you might want to get thee quickly to a Lexus dealer.
