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 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.

You can go to the pages for specs, performance, etc. It is quite impressive. regards-

One note, the TAS review thought the system in the SC430 sounded ok, but were amazed in the LS430. So if someone is seriously considering the Lexus for this system, keep this in mind. Also, if someone tells you they have heard it, ask which model they were in.

i commute 90 miles a day, & my main drive has *no* radio - i like to listen to the sweet sounds of that alfa v6 winding out. i enjoy my stereo at home, when in the car, i enjoy *driving*.
