So for those who have gone from a sporty coupe/sedan to an LS, do you miss it? Do you ever look back and think that you've made the wrong choice?
You won't regret it . I have a 460 after many cars and a friend with an IS f . The car is sensational I am never bored because it's so comfortable still goes fast enough , and the build quality and finishes blitzes an IS . If you appreciate having the best materials and like the finer things you'll soon forget about your IS and instead of crashing over every ripple in the road you'll be gliding !

I've also had the GS4 for a few days and thought that if I will be going from the ISF, the GS was just not enough of a step into the luxury direction. To put it another way when I pulled away from the dealer in the GS I said to myself "hmm, nice car." When I pulled away from the dealer in the LS460 I said to myself "wow! this is pretty awesome!"
hold it.... wait, wait, wait. you got an LS for a loaner ?????? i've been trying that for years. some people...

Shoot a pm to I8ABMR. He traded his 460 for an ISF in February and should have good feedback for you.

Well as of this past Saturday the ISF is with a new owner, so the possibility of an LS in the future is quite real.

I drove a 2004 LS430 for almost 8 years - test drove an IS F on apparently very smooth roads and fell in love with it. After about a week I could take the bone-jarring bouncy ride no longer, and Monday night traded the IS F in on a 2007 LS 460 L. The IS F is fun, but does not make a good daily driver especially with our crappy roads up here in Ohio.
