Coming from the GS forum, just wanted to give you the 'offical' CL congrats man. The pics don't give the color enough justice. Very nice combo bro, enjoy.

I am curious about the above question for sure! What is different not in looks but, in features and drive performance and cabin feel as well as seats and interior space. Also, the LS430 feels big when you drive it and when I first got it, took a while to get used to the car size(S-Class took a while to get used to as well)!

Are there things you miss about the LS430 and what is there and Im sure there is plenty, things the new LS460 has you are digging right now buddy!!! I figure it will take a while to get used to the new ride buddy as you get used to it, let us know when time permits!! L.G.N.M

Good pick up Tee, and you were not out of the game too long were you?

I never really thought too highly of the LS460, but for some reason, maybe seeing more on the road and then a white one listed on the CL classifed recently with the rear goodies and it's starting to catch me. Too bad price wise, they're still too rich for me.

It's not a "L" right? The rear doors look too small to be the long wheelbase. You can always spot an "L" (besides the L on the trunk) from the side because the rear door is as big as the front doors.

Anyway, good luck and hope to continue to see you here online. As for parts, are those the only parts you have?
