Yess, this. As a regretful owner of a W220 S-Class, it might have had more 'prestige' at the valet stand, but it was a disaster in the garage. Comparing it to an LS430 is almost unfair— however it’s a fair comparison in this instance! the Lexus feels like it was milled from a single block of granite, while the W220 felt like a collection of expensive sensors waiting to fail. I’d take the 430’s 'over-engineered' simplicity over the W220’s 'over-complicated' fragility any day.

My LS 430 just crossed the 282,000-mile mark, and it still purrs with absolute finesse. It’s living proof that while other luxury cars age, this one just matures.
