It doesn’t. Erin doesn’t know what the heck she is writing about. The package ships around 20lbs. That’s the weight of all of the components, including the calibration tool that you plug in momentarily to execute the new tune. To install the new throttle body, throttle body adapter, and CAI, you first have to remove…

I was thinking LS as well. You can get them with a super reliable V8, and it will have every feature in the world compared to a Corolla. They can easily fit two adults, two car seats, and a weekends worth of stuff. The styling is a bit meh but it still looks upscale and very respectable IMO.

Can confirm. Just bought a 2008 Lexus LS600HL...original sticker was $115k...paid $23,700 for it. The back seats recline!  All seats are heated and cooled!  It’s super luxury on a budget and it rides so, so smooth...and with 438 horses, it kinda hauls ass too. 10/10 would recommend. 

I really like this take. I owned a 14 GS350 F Sport and it was a great cruiser with the right amount of luxury and sport.

LS all the way cheap, lux and reliable 

I agree with this answer. I’ve seen every range of owner in an LS or GS. CEO of the last company in worked for owned a five year old LS460 and the COO drove an ES350.

It’s absolutely bonkers how the GS350 flies under the radar as an option for sedan buyers. I recently picked up a mint 2014 AWD w/luxury package for less than the price of a well optioned used Accord. The car stickered at 61K new!  

Exactly,

On reading the title, my first thought was Lexus sedan. The details just reinforced that and pointed to the GS AWD.

This is, by an insane margin, the best answer here. All the staff answers are completely idiotic (except the GMC, and he specifically said no SUVs so that one is out the window). These Lexuses are super reliable, reasonably priced, very nice to drive, and tick every box. Hopefully the pilot here sees this answer and…

But he needs “Ultra Luxury”

I was going to suggest a Lexus. I like the older body style better though, this one is in the neighborhood and well within the budget.  Rear-facing car seats should also fit if necessary.

THIS. It ticks all the boxes.

so basically this:

This is the interesting part for the $35k model:

A viscosity rating is a range, and each range is quite sizeable.

its 185" and 71.8"

Wrong. G20 is 2.5" shorter.

Though the interior isn’t up to par with MB and BMW, this car is prettier than any wagon deserves to be. In the 50s it’s an OK value too. Kinda wish it offered something unique that the F-pace didn’t, otherwise people just go to the taller and cheaper car.

counterpoint: modern lamborghinis should scream/wail, not grumble. this is an audi.
