I've had my LS now for two months and I'm still looking for 'excuses' for taking it out for a ride. I've even grown to love the looks of the 430 and am no longer 'jonsing' for a 460. I'm still a little annoyed it doesn't drive itself but I'll get over it.

We've had our LS for almost three years now and I still look back at it when I walk away after parking. My partner thinks I'm nuts and obsessed but I just think he's jealous...

Agree - an LS430 is a thing of beauty - from an aesthetic as well as technical/engineering point of view. I have had mine going on 2 years and every time I get in it it still wows me a little. Its not an inexpensive car but that feeling is priceless to me.

I've had mine for 3 weeks, and i usually drive to and from Austin on the weekends(320 mile roundtrip) and i am loving the car.

The experience in the cabin itself is just very soothing...that and i just hit 37K miles this week.

Looking forward to a longer road trip with more ppl to really see how it performs
