THE LEXUS LS 460 takes automotive luxury to another dimension. It’s imposing, elegant and dynamic flagship combines beauty with technological innovation into a flawlessly designed and sophisticated vehicle.
The LS460 is the definitive flagship model and supreme embodiment of Lexus philosophy. This vehicle promises to redefine the large luxury sedan and the Lexus brand for the coming years.
The LS600hL design is based on Lexus' 'L-finesse' (the beauty of leading-edge finesse) design philosophy, avoiding any demand to loudly call attention to its dignity as a flagship car.
The distinctive styling comes together at the pinnacle of the Lexus marque with the expressive, unique headlamps, and the use of the color blue for the Lexus marks and emblems that symbolize the car's hybrid powertrain. The design asserts the unique appeal and presence of this hybrid-equipped Lexus flagship.
The new LS 460 redefines the luxury sedan. A new car from the ground up, it achieves revolutionary advances in performance, driving dynamics and quality.
Its engine, transmission and suspension are completely new. The powerful new 4.6-liter V8 petrol engine, featuring important breakthrough engine technologies, works seamlessly with the world's first ever 8-speed automatic gearbox to set new standards for dynamic and smooth driving.
Ride quality has always been a Lexus hallmark. The new flagship has a totally new multi-link air suspension system, networked with intelligent vehicle dynamics and variable steering to create a ride that is astonishingly agile and refined.
And nowhere is the pursuit of perfection more critical than in the area of safety. The LS 460 has pioneered revolutionary new safety systems, harnessing advanced technologies to anticipate dangers on the road and offer protection.
Lexus believes that the world's most advanced technology can be used to enhance human comfort and hospitality that is timeless. "You will experience it in the seamless way the car anticipates and reacts to your wishes, in a way that is intimate yet unobtrusive," says Lexus, adding: "The LS460 is smooth, refined and instantly responsive."

Some Warren Buffett wisdom on his last day leading Berkshire Hathaway
OMAHA, Nebraska: The advice that legendary investor Warren Buffett offered on investing and life over the years helped earn him legions of followers who eagerly read his annual letters and filled an arena in Omaha every year to listen to him at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meetings.
Buffett’s last day as CEO is Wednesday after six decades of building up the Berkshire conglomerate. He’ll remain chairman, but Greg Abel will take over leadership.
Here’s a collection of some of Buffett’s most famous quotes from over the years:
___
“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”
That’s how Buffett summed up his investing approach of buying out-of-favor stocks and companies when they were selling for less than he estimated they were worth.
He also urged investors to stick with industries they understand that fall within their “circle of competence” and offered this classic maxim: “Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1.”
___
“After they first obey all rules, I then want employees to ask themselves whether they are willing to have any contemplated act appear the next day on the front page of their local paper to be read by their spouses, children and friends with the reporting done by an informed and critical reporter.
“If they follow this test, they need not fear my other message to them: Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding; lose a shred of reputation for the firm and I will be ruthless.”
That’s the ethical standard Buffett explained to a Congressional committee in 1991 that he would apply as he cleaned up the Wall Street investment firm Salomon Brothers. He has reiterated the newspaper test many times since over the years.
___
“You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.”
Many companies might do well when times are good and the economy is growing, but Buffett told investors that a crisis always reveals whether businesses are making sound decisions.
___
“Who you associate with is just enormously important. Don’t expect that you’ll make every decision right on that. But you are going to have your life progress in the general direction of the people you work with, that you admire, that become your friends.”
Buffett always told young people that they should try to hang out with people who they feel are better than them because that will help improve their lives. He said that’s especially true when choosing a spouse, which might be the most important decision in life.
___
“Our unwavering conclusion: never bet against America.”
Buffett has always remained steadfast in his belief in the American capitalist system. He wrote in 2021 that “there has been no incubator for unleashing human potential like America. Despite some severe interruptions, our country’s economic progress has been breathtaking.”
