2004 LS430 gone with Custom Package, I miss it... but Im still in the Lexus family, I now own a 2014 GS350 F sport and totally diff car with all the new electronics, but LS is still the best, I miss the soft closing doors and other features it had.

Congratulations, a big change in the technology! Interested in what you think about the difference in ride quality.

With the F sport it can be soft or stiff, but even in soft mode the ride is still not anywhere near the quality of the LS in ride smoothness. However the GS def out-handles it and be able to switch from normal to stiff ride in the GS is pretty cool. I do notice that the stock stereo in GS is much better than the ML I had in LS, not sure why.

I feel garden variety rental cars have a better stereo than the Mark Levinson package on my LS.

I really would be mad if I paid extra for that package on the car brand new.

same here.my 93 sc400 has the NAKAMICHI and my old gs400 had it.
the ML sounds like a 1960's handheld AM radio next to the NAKAMICHI.
