I switched from 07 IS350 to an 01 LS430. Quality is the same if not better on the LS. None of the dash noise and brake groaning sound. Although those might have been taken cared of by the previous owner. Interior on the LS is in a totally different level. Very luxurious.

Agreed 100%.

That I have a tad different opinion. While all Toyota have the best quality in it's respective class, different level of Toyota has different level of quality. It is all in the design and material. In the LS, Toyota can afford to go all the way, while the IS is more budget constrained. The LS430 definitely have much higher level of quality then a IS350. Everything on the LS430 is screwed together, while most things on the IS350 is snap together with no hardwares.

True in quality of materials and also reliability. The '03 LS has proven to be the most reliable car ever built (JD Power 3 year study) -- averaged LESS THAN ONE (1) problem per vehicle in 3 full years of ownership!
