Not for a second !
I love my 08 ISF. It's a fun and reliable car that's given me nothing but please. It also has only 35k miles. But we have an addition in our family and the responsible person in me says it's time for something else (like an LS). My daily commute is a 60-mile round trip mostly at expressway speeds.
So for those who have gone from a sporty coupe/sedan to an LS, do you miss it? Do you ever look back and think that you've made the wrong choice?

and instead of crashing over every ripple in the road you'll be gliding !

Over my dead body lol.
I've had the LS as a loaner a few times and have driven it on my daily commute, so I know very well what the car would feel like. I live in Chicago where there are no back roads. I get on the express way and the only steering wheel turning that I have to do is to basically switch lanes. I've also had the GS4 for a few days and thought that if I will be going from the ISF, the GS was just not enough of a step into the luxury direction. To put it another way when I pulled away from the dealer in the GS I said to myself "hmm, nice car." When I pulled away from the dealer in the LS460 I said to myself "wow! this is pretty awesome!"

I drove a 2004 LS430 for almost 8 years - test drove an IS F on apparently very smooth roads and fell in love with it. After about a week I could take the bone-jarring bouncy ride no longer, and Monday night traded the IS F in on a 2007 LS 460 L. The IS F is fun, but does not make a good daily driver especially with our crappy roads up here in Ohio.
