Lincoln Town Car vs. Lexus GS 460 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the GS 460 to the dealership as the Lincoln Town Car. There frankly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Lexus is somewhat more economical than the Lincoln Town Car. The Lexus won't tax your gasoline budget significantly more than the Lincoln Town Car will. Regarding MSRP, the Lincoln Town Car doesn't cost much less than the Lexus GS 460.

Utility
The Town Car will most certainly prove handier than the GS 460 for those of you with frequent child-cargo.

Convenience
The Lincoln Town Car's fuel tank will need to be replenished a bit more often than the unit in the Lexus GS 460.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Lincoln's front cabin compared to the Lexus. The ampler interior dimensions of the Lincoln Town Car make it substantially roomier for your passengers than the Lexus GS 460.

Dimensions
The Lincoln Town Car is significantly heavier than the Lexus GS 460. The Lexus GS 460's tank is approximately the same size as the Lincoln Town Car's, though the Lincoln Town Car's is a bit larger. The Lexus GS 460 and the Lincoln Town Car compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Lexus GS 460 packs quite a wallop and will knock the Lincoln Town Car down a few rungs. On the flip side, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. With that kind of horsepower, the Lexus GS 460 is a true sports car.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Lexus GS 460 is definitely nimbler than the Lincoln Town Car, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, remember that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Lincoln Town Car could learn a lesson or two from the Lexus with respect to pickup. Torque equals pickup, and the Lexus GS 460 will have picked up and gone by the time the Lincoln Town Car finally gets moving.

Warranty
The GS 460 and the Lincoln Town Car have the same basic warranty.
