The ride,oh man the ride. So smooth, so sublime, it was like pulling silk over polished glass. Never floaty or bouncy, refined and so quiet, even the engine. Hardly any road noise and bigger bumps and potholes were dismissed with a muffled “thud thud”. Obviously I assume with that suspension it would not handle well but who cares on suburban streets and freeways. acres of leg space and the leather was so soft but the trim fake wood etc was kinda tacky but who cares? comfy seats. I understand why old people like this so much.

What other cars offer a similar experience outside of Lexus? I remember a 7 series from couple of years ago that was like this.

I found this list which says pretty much all the German/Korean/Japanese flagships https://www.consumerreports.org/luxury-cars/luxury-cars-with-most-comfortable-ride/
