Default Miami Auto Show!

2007 LS460 base price .....$57K. At that price I just might trade in my GS430.

What a night....Yup last night i was there @ the Miami auto show. First & most the all new 460L is simply a piece of art. I have to say Lexus did a awesome job creating this car. However there is few minor things that i think Lexus could have made it better. Like for example they should offer a sports tuned suspension package & definetly get rid of the fender gap from the wheel. Second AWD should have been a option on the 460L & offcourse they should make the head lamps on the 460l looked like the 600.

Over all this car is killer against the both 750 & 550. Allthough i am definetly not a huge fan of MB but, one thing i notice the S550 has two extra ponies not to mention it has more torque & then the LS .... which really had me thinking what's the deal here. But then again Ls does have the benefit with 8speed tranny but @ the end they both do 0-60 5.4 sec.

Here is the best part which really made me laugh, well after checking out Lexus i went to the MB section to check out the S550 & all i heard is them MB rep bashing the hell out of Lexus by making there famous comments " Rich mans Toyota" then this other idiot saying 460L won't come close to S550.

Well anyways over all it was fun, atleast BMW guys were cool about the new LS. What's important i already placed a order for my 9th Lexus. And i can't waite to get it.

BTW You can sit in the SWB at the show, but the LWB is up on the turntable. I liked how the Lexus display was right in the middle of Mercedes and Audi

I think the touring package for the LS460L is their sports tuned suspension package, whether it will be sporty enough for you or some others I'm not sure.

I think there have been reports that AWD will be available for the LS460 (not sure if it's for both long & short wheelbase though) later.
Yes I wish we can get the LS600hL headlights for the 460 but they want more to distinguish the 600hL from the 460 in appearance.
