You are in the Lexus LS 460/460L Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| For some reason they are changing threads to "smaller, more focused" discussions on models. They also shut down the model-specific threads on BMW today. But I still wonder, it seems to preclude talking about a variety of aspects when considering a particular car, requires more thread hopping and disrupts continuity in discussion. Also, threads that had heritage are disappearing. But I suppose an explanation is imminent. | |

Is what the current "small, more focused" threads will do to many of us regulars here. Already, the interest level is decreasing on our discussions... Maybe Edmund's should have polled the participants on this prior to making the change. Personally, naming the thread "Styling impressions" and "First Drive" are clearly wrong labels.... Designman's simple but direct title - 460/460L may just do it. Of course, what is most important is continuity and less confusion... I still say, let us merge the two threads into one singular, easy to find, easy to use and easy to debate thread for the new LS. I am confused as it is today. |

It took a closure of some dear threads to get all the different sides on the same sheet of music..lol! BMW, Mercedes, Lexus you name it, the threads are going away in favor of more threads. Doesn't make any sense to me. Having one thread to talk about the LS460 in this case makes more sense than having seperate threads for each aspect of the car like Oac said. Now we'll have a bunch of threads with a few posts in each. M

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 18, 2006 8:51 pm) So where should this comment go -"Styling Impressions" or "First Drive"? My suggestion is that we forum users just decide to use this forum (despite its weird name) that has the history of over 3000 messages in it, and ignore the new one. Then it will die on its own, and hopefully the Edmunds execs will get the message that this is a dumb, user-unfriendly approach.

I'm sorry you aren't happy with the direction we're going in, but it's a policy decision that has been made much higher than my paygrade, I assure you. It's not something we can change. If you want to talk about your impressions of the styling, here's the place. If you have other things on your mind about the new (or any) LS, please go to the top level of the board and either find the right place or create a new topic. Here's the link: Lexus LS. This isn't the smoothest process in the world, there's no doubt about that. It's difficult to make this drastic of a change, but it's got to be done. I, for one, would really appreciate it if you would try to work with us on it. We could really use your help. |

| I'm going to ask that the conversation about the changes in the Forums be discontinued here. Kirstie has provided a more appropriate link in this post: kirstie_h, "2007 Lexus LS 460/460L: First Drives" #16, 18 Oct 2006 10:44 am. | |
