Why LS460 400LB lighter than S550?
Just discovered that the LS460 Im about to buy is the same weight of my E350 and 400LBs lighter than S550. I thought LS is the Lexus' version of S550? what makes it so much lighter?

Well, the S550 is long wheelbase only I believe, well after a certain model year. So you may want to compare curb weight of the 460L vs S550 to get a comparison. Also, the 4matic vs 460L AWD will be significantly heavier.
S550: 4,630 lbs
S550: 4,773 lbs 4matic I think
S550 with different executive seating options: Unknown or not listed assuming it's different?
LS 460L: 4,550 lbs (with air as the S550 has air)
LS 460L with executive seating package: 4,645 lbs
LS 460L AWD: 4,760 lbs
LS 460L AWD with executive seating package: 4,950 lbs
S550: 4,630 lbs
S550: 4,773 lbs 4matic I think

Rhambler is correct. The S550 only comes in a LWB model, have to compare it to an LS460L
