Default Just looked at a 2015 LLS460 FSport, wow!

I traded off my 2008 LS460 for a 2015 RX350FSport about 3 mo ago, also traded my Toyota Tacoma 2wd pick-up, both even for the RX. I wanted to get down to just one vehicle but I needed better snow handling, roof rack and trailer hitch. Anyway I had the RX in the shop today for its 5K checkup (free BTW) and walked into the showroom and there was a brand new 2015 LS FSport with a $13K off banner on it, so $74K. Beautiful white with red/black interior, boy was I tempted.

My dealer has a new LS 460 L with rear seat package
$119k sticker I believe

Even though current LS is old, the new tweaks really make it look nice. Not s class nice but still nice. I love the front end and rear tail lights

That said, having an rx like yours in our garage (blowout 2015 deal we get), I still rather have LS and Tacoma , perfect garage

I hear ya, but I'm moving from FL to western NC the LS is a bit heavy for the constant cornering, up and down hills and braking, the FSport would probably be ok. The truck would have been ok if it was 4WD. But getting down to one car was one of my needs/wants.

The F Sport is a great car for me going up and down the mountain highway. Up until two months ago I was doing it with a LS 430 which was no slouch either. In my hundred or so trips with the 430 I was passed only about five times, once by a mid-'90s Caprice which a few miles ahead I found had gone off the road and over the side. I saw that one coming!

The F Sport handles nicely and the paddle-shifter is great for engine-braking when going downhill. I throw it into Sport mode when the weather is good and I can take the road at-speed. The F Sport won't disappoint.

That is exactly what I have. 2011 LS and a 2011 Tacoma. I'd snap a pic, but currently in Colorado we are getting covered in snow right now. We only garage the car due to so much kid stuff packed in the garage.
