Not in the minority at all. With everything else being equal, a shorter wheel base vehicle will always handle better than a longer wheel base vehicle. The longer base vehicle will give a more comfortable ride in bumpy road conditions though.

I don't own a Lexus, in fact I drive a 2011 BMW 335i, but I the LWB LS460l would be my Lexus of choice. The imposing look is "bawse" as you said

The longer wheelbase just feels way more luxurious! I love driving my L but I love it more being driven amd being able to be 5'10" and can still cross my legs, tip my hat, and sip on that moscato from the back seat.
