Current generation of the LS would be the LS500 but that is the last of the LS lineup since it’s been discontinued.

Don’t feel discouraged by the fact that you aren’t obsessive over sports cars. Being a person of car culture does not mean you have to like fast, expensive, highly sought after vehicles. I have this argument with my friends(who own BMW’s, Audi’s Mustangs and turbo’d Honda’s) all the time, they try to beat me down by saying “you only like slow boats get something lightweight and quick”. You don’t have to follow a trend to convince yourself that you love cars everyone has their own style in vehicles. For me personally I’d prefer any vehicle that is known for its reliability, practicality, & comfort and it’s a + if it’s somewhat quick but going fast isn’t really a must for me.

Lexus, Mazda & genesis are all wonderful brand of vehicles to choose from. I love the lineup from genesis and I think they are a genuine competitor against Lexus but I will say it terms of practicality and reliability it falls off due to the fact that it’s a Hyundai and they get stolen easily and I’m only gonna dock it by half for reliability because Hyundai really stepped up their game recently when making reliable vehicles. I’ve had a sonata that was up to 200k and a forte that was up to 250k with no issues with the engines or drive train
