LS 460 v Mercedes E350
Ive been driving an older Mercedes E350 for many years and am considering a 2010/2011 LS 460.
Will the LS 460 be too large of a car for someone who has driven a Mercedes E350?

It's a larger car, whether it's too large for you depends on you.
Is an upgrade from an E Class in many ways.

I think you will easily adjust to the larger LS and it has so much more to offer.

The ride quality is significantly different (in my opinion) from the E-class; I rented a 2015 E-350 for a week and while it drove nice, it didn't hold a candle to my 2010 LS in terms of ride comfort and road noise. It is bigger, but not noticeably "boat-ish" that you would dislike it.

A colleague of mine just told me a few days ago that he is becoming "worrisome" with his 2012 Lexus ES and is really thinking about diving into a new 2016/2017 E Class.
He says he's scared that the ES will begin to give him trouble.
I told him.. "You have not only one of the most reliable cars that Lexus makes, but one of the most reliable cars on the road-period! I'd better respect it if you said that your simply getting bored with the car, and you want something more visually appealing and more cachet".
He said.."Yeah..I guess your right!!"

One of the guys at my cigar shop is a lawyer and drives a 3-4 year old MB E-350 which just turned 60K he had to put new motor mounts in about 6 weeks ago. Not covered by MB was not happy.

I just got rid of my 2010 ES. 90k and not one problem. P.S. Have I told you I'm in Love with my 460. I Really liked my ES, but I LOVE my 460! Don't bother with the E 350, you'll be disappointed.

I found the E350 a bit cramped. So depends on what you want. But the E350 does drive and handle so much better. I like the sporty feel. Some like the boat or comfort feel.
I could not have owned a LS if I did not have the sport version. But that is just me.

This is an unfair comparison.
An E-class Mercedes is equivalent to a mid-size Lexus.
The LS and the S-class are peers, however.
