Folks I've again removed some personal, immature and/or baiting commentary inappropriate for public discussion in our community. Take that stuff to PM or keep it off CL entirely please.

I will remind everyone that personal opinions are welcome here as long as stated maturely and politely. Not everyone is going to love the new LS and that is OK. Those that don't like it, recognize this is a Lexus enthusiast forum and act accordingly. Your opinion and thoughts are welcome as above, but be aware if you are intent on continuous posting simply to get a rise out other CL members we will ask you to exit this thread or this forum. If you've got questions, please PM me or a moderator before posting.

Yes even my LS430 have aero underneath, it is mostly flat on the bottom. It is a huge reason why the CD is 0.25 and the car get such good MPG on the freeway.

Scary fast it ain't. Perhaps confidently fast or reasonably fast, but definitely not scary. If you want scary fast, try the Tesla Model S Performance.

4.4 seconds is pretty insane for a car that size (Tesla Model S Performance), which is the same as the Mercedes Benz S63.

4.4? where did you get that number? the ls460 is decent but can't be that fast. there is no way ls460 can match s63 on speed.

i had the ls460l, now s550. i say both cars about the same. and i have driven cl63 (which is very close to s63), that thing can fly

on lexus.com, ls460, 5.4

4.4 for the Tesla S Performance. I guess I should have made my comment a little more clear, my bad lol
