Ride Quality: GS430 vs. LS vs. LS Sport Susp.
So how would those of you that have driven in all three, or the GS and one of the LS's compare the rides.
How does the GS 430 compare to the LS Sport in handling? In ride comfort?
Road noise? The regular LS?

I test drove a GS, an LS and I bought a 2004 LS Sport (when new).
That tells you how I prioritize these characteristics when buying - i.e. I am willing to sacrifice a little soft ride for better handling.
Here are my numbers:-
LS Ride Comfort: 9
LS Euro Comfort: 8
GS Ride Comfort: 8
LS Handling: 6
LS Euro Handling: 7
GS Handling: 7
LS Road Noise: 8
LS Euro Noise: 8 (depends heavily on tire make)
GS Road Noise: 8
