Default I'm gonna floor it everywhere I go when i get my LS 500

I will be pre-ordering mine soon

finally came to the conclusion that I don't want the LS 460, and that I dont want a luxury german sedan that falls apart after a year or so

i wonder what kind of crazy options there are that i can put in this car

The gen 4 A8's have excellent reliability. Check out consumer reports. I love mine and the vehcile history (60k miles) has been nothing but a tune up, oil changes, tires, and brakes since new. BMW's 7 series are getting better too. Not great but not as bad as they used to be. Really the S class has the most part failures. 2018 gen 5 A8 is about to be released as well. That is also a beautiful machine. Audi reliability has improved a lot. CR ranks the 460 and A8 virtually the same in this category. The old argument of German cars falling apart is not revelant anymore.

Why are we talking about the A8 in a thread about somebody planning to order their LS500?

I really wish they had numbers out or at least pricing for the vehicle trims to see if it went up or down a little, pretty sure it went up.
