I must admit that when Lexus first introduced the Crafted Line, it wasn't my cup of tea. However, it grew on me over time, especially as I learned more about the finer details, and well, the photos have only sealed the deal.
Just wanted to bump this up. Considering picking up a crafted line. Do they have different tuned suspension that rides firmer than a non air suspension LS460? Can anyone give a ride comparison who has driven both? I currently have a 2011 LS460L without air suspension. Thx

It's just the air suspension with F-Sport; firmer than the non F-Sport version. The Crafted line just has a preset of options--I don't think there were many choices. Has ML stereo, Blind Spot Monitoring, alacantara headliner, etc. Does not have adaptive cruise, Lane Keeping Assist, attention monitoring, etc. For me it was the set of options I would have picked anyway.

I had a 2007 LS460 and I now have a 2015 Craft Line 460 and I love it. You really feel a difference int he ride and it's probably not for everyone but i like the firm ride (pause lol). It feels more confident in traffic and lane changing, very powerful and jumps to 80 like it's nothing....really have to be light footed. The only issue i have is that it burns gas like a tanker, you have to drive it in Eco mode and keep the rpms under 2000 if you want to see 15 mpg.My last 460 did 18 or 19 mpg easy....i have to let this one float going down hills like a truck (coast) or else you're talking 12 MAYBE 13 mpg....and less. The car constantly gets praise for it's interior when ppl see it because I have tints including the front windshield, you can slightly see in it. Recently I went to the car show and had the chance to see the new version, the LS500 Craft Line. Nice car, but it's smaller. It was pretty tight on the inside....the 460 f sport is slim enough.
Nice! Is it the AWD version? (I get 12 mpg with all my very short trips. Got a road trip coming up, so I'll reply and let everybody know what kind of mileage i get on the open road).

Yeah man, AWD....my 1st AWD actually. I love the control, feels much safer and able but the RWD is for a drivers driver. I loved my GS400 in RWD....the 460 felt less stable with RWD but because of the weight I didn't have problems in snow. I trucked thru a 2 hr snow and ice storm in RWD in my 2007 460
Yeah 12 mpg sounds about right and if you try to drive it slow, you'll degrade the engine, so you have to take it on the highway and open it up at the least. I m glad I dont have to drive thru the city everyday, i'd get another car
I think it's worth if if you drive in snow and ice, but you'll want snow tires to really take advantage of it. The RWD version is faster, but I've never felt a lack of performance with mine. This is my first AWD as well. One of the things I like about it is I can launch faster when it's wet--my old FWD car would just spin the tires if I romped on it too much when it was raining. You'll love this car--I've had mine for going on two years and I still look forward to driving it every chance I get.

Just back from my first road trip--800 miles round trip at mostly 85 mph. My gas mileage was pretty steady at just under 24 mpg. (22.32, 23.36, and 23.66).
As I said before I get 12-13 MPG in town with my very short trips, so this was a nice improvement.
I wonder what the most efficient highway speed is for these cars...
