Default My wife told me to by an LS460.......

She road with me during a 15 mile test drive and noted that it is the nicest car she ever rode in. As for my other choice, the GS350 AWD, she shot that down because the interior feels cramped and the run flat tires appear to make the ride rough.

Anway, I am on the list or a stadard whellbase low option ($67K) Noble Spinel Mica LS 460 hopefully to be arriving in a couple weeks.


Question- does anyone sell a cold air intake soe I can make this screamer

LOL! I hope you are joking.

I had Injen CAI on my IS350 for a day and boy do I miss my "quietness" of my Lexus. I took it off right away.

Having seen Noble Spinel Mica in person, I find it very stunning and beautiful...a rich and dynamic color.

Hope you and your wife enjoy the car!

That was a poorly designed test. Anyone who has driven a car with run-flats for the first-time (and probably forever) will hate it. They are too harsh. If you still want to consider a GS, try it w/o the run-flats. Most new GS owners who have the run-flats get rid of them in the first few months I think.

Actually my message got cut off- I was saying something about having a sceaming intake to freak out all those kids with their baloney exhausts on their Civics and Eclipses.

While I do have a cold air intake on the GTO to make more noise , no such silliness will happen to the LS.

BTW, the car I drove was a Noble Spinel Mica 460L with an 80k+ sticker. Had it been an swb car, it probably would be in my gararge now.

The reflection of the metal flake in the sun is unbelievable. My 05 CTS cost an extra $1000 for the fancy redline paint, but it did not look so good sitting right next to the 460.

Too bad. The "L" is sooo worth it!

I would take the L just because I think this model looks better in LWB form, the extra space at the back I would seldom get to enjoy anyway . . .
