I'd bet good money that the 3 major mags are driving the LS as we speak, and preparing their "First Drive" columns for their October "2007 New Car" issues! So just wait another couple of weeks for your copy to arrive in the mail!  C&D and MT should have a Full Test for November. Steve Good job finding that article!  The translation is rough, at best, so I can't really get their drift, but they seemed to be impressed! I don't really follow your beef with the ES, doh.  There seems to be a lot of GS-bashing going on. It is selling with the highly-acclaimed M35/45 in a virtual dead heat, so I would throw so much dirt on it. I think Lexus would be quicker to move the LS upmarket if the GS caught on better. The GS should be edgier, like the 5-series. Or the IS. But the IS could be tightened up too. If the GS would sell 40k, consistently, the LS would be free to fight at a higher price point. Lexus may not want an unseemly gap from $45k to $65k.  DrFill

Thanks... can't wait for those "First Drives" and especially the comparos with the usual "reliables". We'll see how it goes. BTW, early indication suggests an Oct 21st or thereabout release date. That's what my dealer confirmed to me... I dunno how much in the know he is. The same guy who told me to prepare for a $72K LS460 SWB. I'd rather special order mine at the mid-60s. I don't want all the junk they pack in just to hike the price. |

The way the Euros talk about LS posters, you'd think no one but themselves can read the HELM board. Sheesh... Nothing would make me post on that board again... Yes, I know you Euro fans are lurking around here, but its a waste of your time baiting people here... Here its all about the new LS series. BTW, words from those in the know is that the new LS600hL has a ride and handling unmatched, and should set a new benchmark. The 460 ain't bad either, but not in the same league as the 600hL. Also, more Lexus models on the way including possibly a V-12h.... Hmmmmm.... Sounds like the competition ain't seen anything yet ! Here is a link to the First Drive from Canada... a mix of good and *so-so* news about the new LS... Everything but not enough handling in the twisties (nothing a good set of 20s and stiffer springs cannot fix)... Otherwise, the best LS thus far... Is that good enough for ya ? http://www.canadiandriver.com/roadtest/07ls460.htm

Replying to: oac (Aug 14, 2006 9:54 pm) I totally agree with you about the other board. I wouldn't be surprised if it dies in time since there will be few, if any, Lexus posters left there.

ljflx and anyone else in the know....I just read in the specs (Lexus site) that the LS600hL will be 202.8 inches long. However, I see where ljflx says that it will be 209 inches in length. Which is it?
