Ford CEO Alan Mulally used to be head of Boeing Commerical Airplanes, at which time he drove an LS 430, saying it was the best-built car in the world...there were press reports that he was getting rid of it after he was hired at Ford...

...looks like he still uses the flagship.

The private jet is pay for by the company, the car is probably his, out of his own pocket.

I have often told myf amily that even if I were a multi millionare, I would still drive a LS430. Any other luxury car would be a waste of $, would make me stand out way too much, and would not be as reliable.

I'm surprised he hasn't upgraded to the 460.
That says a lot about the 430.
