"   LEXUS OR LEARJET? Hot on the heels of Mercedes-Benz&amp;#039;s launch of the all-new S-Class, Lexus has completely remade its flagship LS sedan line. And the all-new, fourth-generation LS--with the standard-wheelbase LS 460 and long-wheelbase LS 460L--truly makes it a car &amp;quot;line.&amp;quot; There will even be a hybrid model launched at the New York International Auto Show that will rival the V12 models from the German manufacturers. Both the standard-wheelbase (116.9-in.) and long (121.7-in.) models pack a 4.6-liter V8 rated at 380 hp and 370 lb.-ft.of torque paired to a new eight-speed automatic. Yes, you read that right. This transmission trumps the previous champ, Mercedes-Benz&amp;#039;s seven-speed unit. In the big Lexus, that powertrain translates into 0 to 60 times of 5.5 sec. and combined fuel economy in the mid 20s. This is a Lexus, so all the trappings you would expect are standard. But it&amp;#039;s the long-wheelbase model that really provides the thrills for passengers\u2014especially in the back seat. The rear thrones in the LS 460L are a lot like those of the Maybach. They recline and have power footrests and massagers just like a Learjet. There are also 9-in. headrest-mounted monitors with an all-new 19-speaker Mark Levinson sound system. Like many of the new cars from Lexus, the new LS abandons previously frumpy design statements for a clean, modern and--dare we say?--sporty look. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
