Mark levinson audio system in Lexus?

I saw an add on TV this morning for a Lexus, model escaped me, that claims it has a Mark Levinson audio system in it. Can anyone that has heard the 'system' give us some impressions?

Our cars both have the factory system in it, it does fine by me in the noisy car environment where I never do any critical listening anyway. I am very curious whether the ML system actually adds something?

I think Levinson is a Harmon company, isn't it?? I know Toyota stereo's are basically HK / JBL combos (more Harmon Companies), so the Levinson / Lexus tie-in makes sense. How much do they actually charge for them?

The latest issue of TAS has a little review of the ML system in different Lexus models.

I have since had a ride in one, and I must say that for car audio it is not bad at all! I was pleasantly surprised by the low level of road noise that was evident in the car, and the sound system really did sound very decent.

Of course, it is still a car, not a listening room. I still do not care for trying to do any 'listening' in a car.

Since I have been thinking about buying this car, I have been doing some research. Here is a URL specifically about the sound system.
