Default LS500 vs LS460 back to back comparison


The LS500 looks cluster phobic in the back seat with that LCD screen sticking out. They should have compared a 2017 model LS600h to the LS500.

I think it's the LS 500's roofline that makes it claustrophobic in the back, especially compared to the LS 460.

I guess if $140k means nothing in terms of your net worth, then go right ahead. Me, I prefer that someone else takes the big depreciation hit. I checked prices on my car today, and it's down $4-$5k from what I paid for it three years ago.

Covid did wonders for used car prices.

I had a chance to take a test drive on the 2018 LS500 and I didn't like it at all. Picked my 2016 LS460 with the V8 for $20k less

Yes, I noticed that...I'm starting to look at cars for my daughter, but I think I'll hold off until the end of the year and see how things go.
