I'm on the list!
Woohoo....just put my $$ down to be placed on the wait list for the LS460L. I really wanted the 600hL, but honestly, it doesn't look like it will be here until mid-2007. Being 24, it could be that I am immature and impatient, but I just can't wait that long.
Very excited about this. Dealer told me first LS460Ls will arrive in early October. I am 6th on the list. EDIT: Apparently someone dropped out and now I am 5th on the list!
The only question I have...does ANYONE know if AWD will be an option on the LS460s or just the LS600? I am a skier and can no longer live without this option.

24 and wanting the new LS? And here I thought I was still too young to consider the LS 
The LS460 does look great. But I'll admit, I'm a huge fan of the headlights on the LS600H. I only wish somehow the LS460 could get the LED headlamps.

Not really official information, but . . .

3)from what i heard, NO ls460 will come with awd. this was indeed quite surprising, though i didn't care much about (being in cali).

I don't really care for the improved gas mileage nor do I think I really need more than the ~380hp on the LS460 for a large luxury sedan like this, it's not like I would take a car like this to the drag strip LOL, but the LS600hL just seem a little nicer than the LS460L inside & out . . . hmmm . . .

Thanks for the info Arazzo.
I just won't be able to understand it if they don't put AWD as an option for the LS460. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Acura, and Volvo all have this option. It seems unacceptable to me for a car of this caliber to not have this option. Heck, even the GS, RX, LX and (from what I hear), the new ES have AWD options.
Anyone else also on the wait list?

Both couldn't be further from the truth. I grew up relatively poor in a single parent household and I have never even smoked Marajuana let alone sold it!! I'm an entrepreneur with two businesses - a computer consulting shop and a website development company. Additionally, I own some real estate. I opted to skip college and just start the businesses. I've been very blessed and never take it for granted.

ES350 is FWD only, & with good winter tires, can be pretty good on snow already.

Are you going to get a ski rack or just use the pass through? And does that mean you're going to trade in your LS 430? Just curious...lol.

D.) He's got a sugar momma.
E.) Lotto winner or professional gambler.
F.) He'll have an LS, but lives in a trailer park or tool shed.
G.) He's confusing it for the LS model of the Chevy Cobalt.
H.) He's as nutty as the Planter's Mr. Peanut.
I was thinking of other things...
