I would prefer the LS460. Acutually it's handling is just a very little below the 750i, it's turning radius is also smaller than 750i. LS460 has the world's first 8 speed automatic transmition. It is more quiet than 750. It is also more comfortable and luxury, with lots of most hi-tech equipments. It also looks better than the 750i. LS460 is a brand new car compare to the 750i. LS460 is also more powerful than the 750i. The base price is most likely cheaper too. Lexus is more reliable than BMW. So I can't see why you choose the 750i. It just overmatch the 750i in every way.
drivng the cars back to back during the lexus event, i think the bmw has better steering response and flatter on corners.

If their parents don't care about the handling...why not choose the LS?

Well, I must say that I was joking a little... 
But, it is true... if I have money to buy 750i... I won't even consider LS460.
The price was the biggest reason why I bought GS over 5-series...
And, GX470 over GL450...

but that doesn't take a way from the fact that i think bmw has better handling

what part of my post indicated that i think handling is the MOST important?!?! you might want to go back and read again. everyone knows i would choose the ls460 over the 750i any day. read my review on the lexus driving event in the car chat forum and see what i think of the car
but that doesn't take a way from the fact that i think bmw has better handling

i agree with everyone of these points. unless you have money to throw around, the lexus is simply just so much more worth it.

IMHO, 7-series has a somewhat better-looking exterior, LS460 a much better-looking interior. Comparably optioned, a 750Li will probably cost at least 20K more than an LS460L. If cost is no object, get a Mercedes S65 AMG instead.

If they don't care, either the LS or 750 should be fine.
I'm doing the same for my parent, looking for their next 4 door luxury sedan.

750 is for those who are insecure in their pants and pantyhoses. This talk about great handling is all bunk. Those who want handling may buy a M3 or a dedicated sports car like cayman or elise.
LS is for those who are leaders with sharp business acumen and do not care for praise or censure and are confident beyond reproach.
There are many LS owners who own S2000, cayman, 911.

What is the value of posting something like this, other than to be incredibly offensive and to demonstrate mind boggling ignorance? One can only wonder what kind of unbelievably poor judgment you must demonstrate in your life to post this kind of garbage in a forum where people are trying to have an intelligent conversation about the merits of one type of car over another.
Report post to moderator buddy.
Either that or PM me.
I could easily type out a paper on why I believe the M3 is gay and/or intended for homosexuals, but that'd bore everyone. I was simply quickly addressing someones suggestion of getting an M3.
That and if you did a search on who I was, you'd see that I've always said that (half in jest too).
