Doubts about the Ls 460's shoulder room.
My wife an I saw the Ls460 at the ATL auto show yesterday. The shoulder room and head room are noticibly tighter. I had the Lexus rep to sit in both cars ( Ls 430 & 460)for me as they were both on display. He aggreed with my observation. I am a big guy with broad shoulders and the present car has just enough room between me and the B post. I have to have the seat all the way back. I doubt if it will be big enough.

Since the car was on the display, I could only look, not sit in the car. But clearly, the car is much bigger in dimensions than the 430. Not exactly how this translates into interor room but IMO, the car in long wheelbase form seems to have tons of room and I am 6"5 220.

however i can't say much about the shoulder room and head room. for sure the ls460 is a bit more aerodynamic looking, maybe that's why the feeling of less head room. but then i am not too tall, and i don't put my seat very straight up, so i always have a lot of room. just how i feel about it

Looing at the both 430 and 460 on display, it really makes the 430 look very square outside the front end of the 430. The 460 seems larger and more styled but not OVERSTYLED, which sadly seems to be a trend today
