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.

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.

I've seen quite a few in recent weeks. My area is high income part of West L.A. I'm surprised to see so many being driven sloppily by little grey haired old (over 65) women. Haven't seen one driven by a middle aged man. A womens car? Meanwhile the MB S550 is far more numerous and seems to be car driven by younger (40-55) males drivers who drive pretty aggressively.

Very reasonable answer.
In fairness, reading the Consumers Union article, it doesn't look like the LS460 has been tested yet.

It is correct that the LS 460 is too new to have any CR reliability ratings as that will probably not appear until next year. CR did rate its predecessor, the LS 430, as its No. 1 Luxury Sedan in its reliability ratings. The BMW 7 Series was near the bottom and the prior MB S Series was dead last in terms of reliability. Not sure if there are reliability ratings yet for the new MB S as it may have been out long enough for reliability reports to come in.
My 4 month experience with the LS 460L would indicate to me that it will follow the exceptional reliability lead of its predecessor.

The ones I saw were all driven by the 45-55 crowd. One of my buddies has the touring suspension and loves it. He had the euro suspension LS430 before this. BTW - I've only seen 1 LS460. All the others I've seen were LS460L's.

mr. dan67 :
i have been cured of my case of " lexitis "
all my lexus cars were sold INCLUDING the
new LS460 . after speaking kindly about the 460 from day 1 ,
the car developed it's own mind .( one mental case in the car is already 1 too many ) the worst thing i did in cars over the span of 42 years , was trade my 2006 LS430 .
no more lexus cars for me .

Mitchell, can you tell us what the car did? I haven't yet sprung for the 460, and still enjoy my 04 LS430, so am very interested in hearing your 460 impressions. Thank you.
Renny
