I would second those who suggested an LS430 (but of course, I am biased). I drove an 07 GS350 and while it was a very nice place to be, it just didn't drive with the solidity and quality feel of the LS and lacked the sporty/refined feel of a BMW E60 5 series. I would take an LS. If you don't like the 460 styling, then the 430 is right up your alley (much more distinguished from any Toyota IMO, much more 90s S-class styling if anything).

As for the driving experience, the LS definitely isn't meant for track days. However, it certainly isn't the boring floaty boat many make it out to be. The steering is nicely weighted (though there is pretty much no feedback) and pretty confident. The brakes are intuitive and grabs hard when you need them to. The engine is torquey and straight line acceleration is quite good for a car never intended for such things (0-60 in about 6 secs in the 04+s). Ride is sublime, my friend couldn't get over how smooth/quiet it was. Features are pretty good too, especially in the Ultra Luxury Pkg trim (pretty much everything on a 460 minus self park). Anyway, just a suggestion! Good luck with your search.

 

sorry but i can never associate LS steering (make it 430 or 460) to be weighted and confident. it's light and loose, that's how i will put it. not saying it's bad but it's not the kind of response that i will call precise at all.

 

LS460L in a heart beat.

 

So it looks liks a Camry.....So what? That should not, IMO, be a credible reason for not buying one. In the long run, I think you will be more satisfied with an LS than a GS, particularly at the end of a long working day, when you are tired and an LS provides a library-quiet, smooth, relaxing ride home in comfort.
