My new (to me) 2011 LS 460
I saw this car pop up on CarGurus on Sunday, and after rejecting the '08 I looked at on Tuesday, I decided to go take a look at this one. It's a 2011 AWD in Smoky Granite Mica with the Alabaster interior.
The overall condition is excellent. It has four new tires, and the brakes were done a few days ago. The pics are not the best - it's cold outside and I noticed after I was done that I have dust on my camera lens
It has the Comfort Package and the Nav/ML package. That's all I need. I downloaded the user manuals and am starting to read up on the car. I'll have to get rid of the dealer decal on the trunk lid, and get a set of winter floor mats.
As we started the paperwork (after finalizing price and trade-in, so it wasn't a sales tactic), the salesman said he needed to go tell the guy who was next in line to see the car that it was sold. I got there at 3pm, the other guy stopped in on his way home from work.

Beautiful! Great and unusual color combo. I love Smokey Granite, prefer it to the Nebula Grey I have. I also love the alabaster interior.
Enjoy it! The 11 is a much better choice than the 08.

Congrats, that must be a really rare combo, I never even seen or heard of one with the matte wood and alabaster leather, you got a great combo, only thing I would change is I would want it RWD but since you live in NJ it would come in handy more for you.

I would have taken RWD or AWD, but you don't see many '10+ RWD cars around here. My last two cars were RWD, and they were fine in snow. I did put snow tires on the S2000, and drove it down I-95 in a snowstorm with the top down and the heat cranked on my way home from work one day. I got some funny looks, but it was fun

Congrats on your new LS! I agree the satin wood looks impervious to fingerprints.

Looks Great ! The 2011 is the better choice. It doesn't appear to be comfort plus package though. You are missing the button to reset the rear seats back to original position. Does your rear seats recline? Also do you have soft door close and are the door armrest leather stitched?
