Default LS460L or Nissan President?

Let's compare the Nissan President 4-seater to the LS460L 4-seater. Which you think is better?

Are you saying the LS430 is a bad car?

President is top of the line of Nissan's lineup in Japan. Cima is the second.
Their exteriors have a few differences but their interior have many differences. They have a great price difference...

The Cima in Japan have 2 engine options(3.0L & 4.5L) & the are priced from about low 5 million to low 7 million yen range.

The President does look similar to the Cima, with 4.5L engine only, but priced from mid 8 million to low nine million yen.

The President 4-seater starts at 9.45 million yen~
The Japanese royal family uses the President & Toyota Century~
It's main competitor is the Toyota Century rather than the LS in Japan.

Mirror on the fenders may look bad, but it may reduce blind spots.
There is only LS460 on sale in Japan, which priced from 7.7 million to 9.65 million yen~

President is not the Q45...Cima is the Q45...President has a higher ranking than LS in Japan, as they are built for the royal family. So, President has a very high quality. Also, remember the best Sedan that Toyota ever built is the Century, which is a Toyota but not a Lexus. The best sedan that Nissan ever built is the President, which is a Nissan but not a Infiniti.
