How it scores for you10 scores
Limousine comfort and legendary build quality define this flagship; heavy fuel bills and old-school tech are its only real vices.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; its only recall was not rated serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +10 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $4,050 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 5% of cars we track.
18 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 91% of other sedans we track.
Vast cabin, especially the L long-wheelbase; a genuine executive-class rear seat.
Effortless V8 wafting; steering and mass make clear it is a limousine.
Feature-dense for its day but visibly last-generation by 2015-17.
Benchmark isolation, seat comfort and build - among the best-riding sedans of its era.
Luxury brands like Lexus tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
