2007 Lexus LS 460

We were pulling for the Mini Cooper, a fun, frugal car with loads of personality. Instead, the Lexus LS 460 beat the Mini and the Audi TT for the 2007 World Car of the Year award. Don’t get us wrong; the Lexus is a nice car. We weren’t too crazy about it, but can see how other people might go ga-ga for its refinement, technology, and styling. Our pick, had we been choosing a luxury sedan for this award, would have been the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Why our customers love our dealers...
"They did not have the car I wanted in stock, but used my research to get the car from another dealership. They offered me a price that included an autobytel discount along with a factory rebate that was about 6% off the listed price."
- Michael S. (Mauldin, South Carolina)
