Replying to: iball (Jan 10, 2007 10:35 pm) iBall, I've got a comment for you. What's your source on the legroom calculation? I am getting 37.6" from Lexus' site for the SWB and judging by the pictures and everything I've heard there's about 5 inches of extra rear legroom on the LWB. Here's my source: http://www.lexus.com/images/ebrochures/LS/LS_Page_11.pdf   For the LWB, that comes out to 42.4, larger than both the Caddy and MB.   Doesn't sound like a "Goof" to me.

Replying to: mikeivan (Jan 12, 2007 8:11 am) SPECS ARE AT CARS.COM REAR LEG ROOM 35.8" & 2 MORE IN. FOR THE "L " HOWEVER, I SAT IN THE "L" YESTERDAY AND IT SEEMED LONGER THAN THAT. BUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE 460LS STILL ETANDS. THAT IS, SETTING THE FRONT SEAT TO MY HEIGHT [5'8"] & SITTING BEHIND THE FRONT SEAT, MY SHOES [INSTEPS] HAD TO FIT UNDER THE SEAT TO BE THE LEAST BIT COMFORTABLE.                     IBALL LET US KNORW YOUR EXPERIENCE.

Replying to: iball (Jan 19, 2007 2:48 pm) I am 6'2" and have sat in the back seat of the SWB and LWB cars and had the front seat adjusted for my driving position. The SWB rear leg room is okay, not spectacular. The LWB rear leg room is phenomenal. I disagree with your comment that the LWB is only 2" longer than the SWB. I figure the LWB rear seating is at least 4-5" longer.

Replying to: iball (Jan 19, 2007 2:48 pm) Just a tip - it's difficult to read messages posted in all caps, so a lot of people will just skip them. Also, generally speaking, using caps is interpreted as shouting. So it's best to turn off the caps lock when posting messages in forums. Replies to this message: iball (Jan 29, 2007 11:57 pm)

#3294 of 3321 Comments on Trunk w/Rear Upgrade Package by clorox Feb 12, 2007 (11:28 am)
Not sure how many of you were being forced to get the Rear Upgrade Package on the LWB model, but my dad was initially being made to get his LWB with that package since the dealer wasn't getting much LWB inventory without it, and I must say, cutting the trunk space by roughly 1/3 was a big deal for my dad. My parents are retired and only have one car, and when they do big runs to Costco, the big trunk matters. Their old car had 19 cu. ft. of trunk space, so even going to the LWB without the upgrade was a step down to 18ft. The addition of that option reduced it to 12 and, when I told my dad about it, he called the dealer and told them he'd just wait until they got the inventory he wanted. Lo and behold, the dealer said they could get it without that rear upgrade and that the wait time would be the same. I guess we'll see in a couple of weeks, which is when he's supposed to be able to take delivery.

Replying to: 123itsdee (Feb 19, 2007 2:42 pm) I've seen 2 I think, one for sure at the driveway of the Country Club, parked.

Replying to: 123itsdee (Feb 19, 2007 2:42 pm) Very few. Is it perhaps because the price is up and the quality appears to be slipping based on Consumer's Union reports? I am hoping they wake up and bring the prices down to get their sales, visibility, and engineering recognized. Otherwise I will just keep my 2001 for a few more years. No rush.

Replying to: woppenhe (Mar 03, 2007 1:08 pm) Well, they are out of the dealerships before they come in. How about the reason is the car is all of 3.5 months old and is a 30K-40K sale target. I've seen about a half of a dozen in my area of NJ. I also saw very few S-classes initially, and still don't see that many, but that car was selling well then and and continues to sell well now. We're not dealing witha 450K annual Camry level sales here, we're dealing with upper tier cars that 95+% of the population can't afford.
