Replying to: houdini1 (Nov 09, 2008 9:29 am) I've no interest in diesel. It seems that the dealerships here are having a hard time selling or leasing the few they get in. Seeing the big discrepancy in fuel prices between gas and diesel isn't helping. Yesterday I saw 2 of the 3 grades of gas under $2 and 93 octane was barely over $2 at $2.09. Regular was down to $1.79 at this station. Diesel was $2.99 at this station. There are some stations in southern NJ that now have all three grades of gas under $2.

Replying to: ljflx (Nov 06, 2008 7:36 am) I don't get it? Your wife has taken over your LS460. The new GL will also be hers? What about yourself? Continue using your old GX?

Replying to: bmlexus (Nov 22, 2008 2:06 pm) My son will take the Infiniti G to college next September. if the economy looks better at that time (and I expect it to as much as I expected oil to collapse) we may take the new RX as a 3rd car as I like it and we have a need for two AWD vehicles. First impressions of the GL are very positive. It rides great, handles great for an SUV and is very luxurioius. The DVD player plays without any power from the car and resumes a movie where you left off. The only real negative is Lexus is light years beyond Mercedes when it comes to a navigation system. On the other hand Mercedes lets you have so much more blue tooth freedoms and treats you like an adult leaving you to make decisions on how to use your cell while driving. Lexus seems to fight you to the point of defeating blue tooth technology if you are trying to initiate a call. Overall I expect the GL to be a very satisfying experience and it's nice to have a Benz and a Lexus in the garage.

If you'll get the new RX, the GL will be yours permanently How the LS460 running? Any wind noise troubles like other LS owners? Well, Lexus will always have the best navigation system, after all Japanese are the kings of electronics plus reliability.

Replying to: bmlexus (Nov 23, 2008 3:34 pm) LS460L has been fabulous. No issues at all, extremely quiet and very satisfying MPG to boot. Best car I've ever driven and I love everything about it EXCEPT the blue tooth limitations caused by Lexus lawyers. S-class is at the same level when I tested it. The MB dealer by me had a brand new 2008 in the show room with a special protective finish and a $5K AMG look package (not an AMG car). It was a $99K MSRP and they had it priced to $83.5K and the sales guy told me they'd let it go on sale or lease at $81.5K! There are some great deals in this economy. It was also the equivalent color to the LS460's smokey granite.

Replying to: ljflx (Nov 23, 2008 5:37 pm) Congrats and enjoy your new ride. I am probably shallow but enjoying a new car is one of the great pleasures in life to me. Not too much left as I am pushing 66.

Replying to: houdini1 (Nov 23, 2008 5:55 pm) Don't ever underestimate. My mother's 91 and in January I leased her a new camry (and it had to be a 6 cyl). She sold her car (2001 camry which had 80K miles - all driven by her) and pocketed the cash while I sprang for a 3 year lease for her. She still drives 12K miles a year, reads without reading glass, nor has she ever needed distance glasses and would rather drive home at 10PM then stay the night (and it's a 30minute drive), and she also complains about slow drivers. Last year she got pulled over for speeding on a state road after leaving my house to go home. The cop stared at her drivers license in disbelief, asked her if she was really the age shown (she looks more like 72) and let he go with the warning to drive slower.

Hi, new to this site. I have a 07 LS460(built 10/06) that has a popping noise when you depress the brake pedal at slow speeds. you can also activate the noise by pushiing down on pedal when at a stop. Dealer says never heard of it, replaced the pads and rotors, which helped fix another problem with "grabby" brakes, but this noise still persist.Has anyone had this issue, and if so, how was it fixed?
