Lexus sold you an LS. That's like being anointed by the Gods from Olympus. You can't ask for a new car. You're lucky they SOLD you a car, and you should consider yourself fortunate that they didn't take the car back while making you drive a Corolla. Only SPECIAL people get to drive LSes, and you need to show proper respect to the Lexus people for allowing you the car.
A new car. Hmmph.

I just had a 2008 LS-460 (4 weeks old, 1250 miles) break a valve spring with the same symptons as described here. Based on other postings this seems to be a bigger problem than Lexus is saying.
In my case (I just met with the factory rep) they are holding fast with only replacing the valve spring. I am extremely concerned by this as I have no idea what else was damaged by this. They actually told me the spark plugs were covered in oil when they pulled them. This sounds liek the implications of problems are worse than they are saying.
Based on Lexus' position on this I will never buy another one.
