Replying to: pfkennedy (Nov 21, 2006 10:39 pm) The air suspension gives you ride control options as well, as it allows you to tune the car to a sport or luxury ride. My experience is simply that the LWB is just a better car with a better ride, will hold more value L/T as that is the direction Lexus is going in and simply provides more features, options and room. SWB is not even a consideration for me at this point. My dealership had no SWB cars available so clearly they sell them immediately.   Cyclone - I'll keep you posted on anything I find out.   Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Replying to: ljflx (Nov 22, 2006 8:29 am) The availability of the air suspension in the L version only is what made me choose the L over the SWB version and then chose the Touring package in the L to maximize the handling capabilities. As noted the additional cost of going to the L was insignificant when you compare how the cars are coming in optioned and given this price range. For me, the air suspension was a must have so I didn't consider the SWB for very long. Been driving the Touring L for 3 weeks now and no regrets.

#53 of 866 Does anyone know... by jd14 Nov 22, 2006 (12:34 pm)
the legroom numbers front and rear? Is Lexus afraid to release them or something? Anyway, a few of you already have 460Ls, so your estimates would be greatly appreciated. Additionaly, hendjaz, did you're Touring L come with the luxury package and/or rear seat upgrade package? Because according to Edmunds they can't be ordered together...seems like a mistake to me.

Replying to: jd14 (Nov 22, 2006 12:34 pm) Not sure about the legroom numbers but in the L the rear seat space is huge and noticably larger than the SWB.   I believe Edmunds is correct on the Touring package as mine did not have the lux package in the rear. It has heated rear seats but not cooled and rear seats don't recline. It comes with a full size trunk as a result though. I think this is the general configuration of the Touring L but maybe a special order is possible. Replies to this message: jd14 (Nov 22, 2006 2:45 pm)

#56 of 866 Trunk Size ?? by fin Nov 22, 2006 (8:17 pm)
If you had, or have, an LS 430 and now drive a 460... how does the trunk space in the new 460 compare? Same usable space? Or less? Assume the 430 has no rear air (Ultra) to take up room. Thanks...

Replying to: kh9079 (Nov 20, 2006 7:26 pm) I've heard about the maintenance issues w/ MB and BMW and I'm hearing that the Lexus is the one to go with. does anyone agree with that or have experienced b or bmw?   You're hearing from a guy who did exactly that. I had an s-Class on order, when the service manager waived me off with the expense of keeping one running. I went with the Lexus LS430, not because it's the best handling or driving, or even looking. Because it's the best made, cheapest to own, and most reliable in the class. The S and 7 drive a little nicer, but you'll pay for that service.

Replying to: nvbanker (Nov 24, 2006 7:28 am) I am waiting about 12 months or so for my GS to wear out a little more then planning to get an LS hopefully with a little discount just because it feels better. Kinda funny how we are willing to lay out 80K on a car, but still want a "deal". Anyhow, i was once told that new wipers for an S class were approx 280 bucks...don't know how true, but if so, borderline rediculous Replies to this message: nvbanker (Nov 25, 2006 12:40 am)

What constitutes "ridiculous" to you, on an $80,000 car? It's plenty ridiculous.   Your regular service interval on an MB can be from $1500 to $4000, but you DO get new wiper blades in there somewhere.
