Thanks. With the air suspension and the extended wheelbase, I feel like Aladdin on a magic carpet when driving it.

I came to an F from the LS460. ITS AWESOME !!! Great car. Handles like a boat but has so much more presence.

CONGRATS. Slap a set of 22's on her and you are done. I would buy another in the future. Just dont need the room right now.

Great pickup! I'm looking to get one as well, and I love how much Lexus puts into the overall product of an LS. Such elegance and refinement. Enjoy it!

When I saw this thread I was saying to myself "Wonder what color GTR he got?" cause that is the usual upgrade but was really surprised at what u got. Beautiful car, I'm betting ur shocked everytime u start it how quiet it is compared to the F.

totally love the ls.. soooooo smooth, but handling is terrible LOL. Going around a corner fast feels like a boat but, it is a luxury car and not a sports sedan. Power is also super smooth. just a perfect car, nice upgrade.

that's a good thing then others can experience true luxury.. If you want something that exclusive and limited to others go buy the LFA.....


Congrats Acari.... definitely night and day difference from and "F" to the LS....

Thanks everyone. I definitely won't be winning any grand prix races with this thing, but boy does it ride nice. I'm thinking of putting up a sail as my first mod . For 60 mile daily commute it would be difficult to find a more pleasing car. I was originally looking for an '08 LS600, but came across this fully loaded (with the exception of the executive seating and sports appearance package) '11 460L for a great price and couldn't pass it up. The wife loves it too. Plus getting around with out 10-month-old will be much easier.

I8ABMR: Wheels would be nice to look at, but practically speaking I am better off with some thick sidewalls and all-season tires. Too many rough roads here in Chicago and I don't want to be switching tires for the winter season.

tmf2004: I still can't say I see many of these cars on the road (especially the long wheel base versions). This particular one is serial numbered at 3XXX, which means production numbers are far from high. Certainly no LFA, but it's not an Accord either. Just the way I like it.
