June '07 is when I'm planning on switching cars. The GS430 was always meant to be a temporary solution for me. I had grown tired of my '99 GS300, but didn't want to buy the 430 when the GS460 was eventually going to be released.

So the 430 resulted in two firsts for me, getting a black car and leasing. I might consider leasing again, but my next car is going to be silver. Love black, hate the work it takes to keep it clean.

Ha, I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining

I would absolutely love to get the 600H, but I can't justify spending $100k on it. Sigh, time to buy a lottery ticket.

I think the New LS is not going on sale until the end of the year, which is still far from now so Lexus has no need to hurry the media test drives.

The two areas where the new LS 460 needs to make real improvements is in CORNERING (firmer supension) and BRAKES (750i has 13.7" disks). These are really essential in my mind so I am anxious to see how the new model performs.
well i agree that bmw has very nice brakes, though i think the ls has pretty decent brakes too, better than some i have seen out there. the only thing i dont' like is the mushy feel, but a set of ss lines fix that. otherwise performance wise the brakes are pretty good. handling though, i guess we all know who the winner is
