Maybe this is the real reason I'm not a fan of the 460?

Or, maybe the LS430 was a really special vehicle and those mentioned are not that much better... I find the feature helpful. Necessary? No, but a good feature nonetheless. You can turn it off.

If longevity indicates being special one can hardly deny the 430 is quite special.

Mine is 04 withe 153,000 miles. Mine works but I don't use it as I don't like air blowing on my face so it's off all the time.
Don't be scared to use it if you want to, you payed for it. I got mine used so it was there.

I'm glad to read this as I thought my oscillating vents were broken.

It works well and you can always lower or raise the vents so they do not blow directly on you. I have mine facing up towards the ceiling and it works well not getting the full force of air on your face... LOL.

since I am usually alone in my car, the vents only go center and back on me and move together. If you use the dual zone to change the temp on one side the vents move in a different way. left goes on me and right goes on passenger side and both move to center together. this is the way I prefer them to move.

Much better cars than an LS430?

S550-S600 are definitely not much better cars than the LS430. I think they meant that the higher priced cars over the LS430 doesn't even have this option.
