Default suspension on 460L

460L comes with the air suspension standard but in the options list you can get the TP package which offers a sport air suspension. do you guys think this will be like the S550's ABC, that virtually eliminates body roll??????? i am really hoping that the car this time will handle like an 750li with sports or the S550 with ABC.

we can just all hope for now i guess, i don't think we have any further information on this. but personally i still kinda doubt if the car will handle like the euro.

fingers crossed

Nobody really knows until it comes out & you get to test drive it, but I doubt the "Sports Air Suspension" is similar to the Active Body Control of the Benz's.
If Lexus makes a truly active suspension, I think they will make a bigger deal out of it, we'll just have to wait & see . . .

But, I read that it was an option on the 460L.

Default Not sure why

I am canceling my lease on my MB and getting the LS460.

I know there are a lot of people that like the German ride and I am not one of them. I prefer the comfy, plush ride of the Lexus.

I had 3 ES300's and the ride was so smooth and the brakes were the best I ever had.

I can't wait to get back to the Lexus family so I can sit back and once again enjoy driving.

Sorry Mecedes - Lexus Rules

how do you mean if? Lexus already has active suspension, and new GS450h's **** is quite nice as well.

I agree about the poor ride of the MB. The three I had rode like TRUCKS!

I EXPECT my C-6 Corvette to ride like a sports car .. but, for my luxury car, I want it to ride like a luxury car.

Regarding the Air Suspension -

does this give you automatic load leveling in the rear?
