Several other people who have similar recent builds have reported that they do not have any wind noise either. That's why I say they have "apparently" fixed it.

I also had the unfortunate experience of a deer hit. She actually ran into the driver side of my car after emerginng from a bushy area. I was driving at 45mph at the time and I could hear her hit the side pretty loud. I expected the worst but after inspecting the car real closely there wasn't a mark on it. I hope the deer is OK. She must have turned abruptly and the car must have just sideswiped her. But If I hadn't heard the noise I'd never have known anything happened by the car's look. My wife was out there with a magnifying glass in the sun the next morning and also couldn't find a thing. As for changes - I'd say almost nothing except adding memory passenger seating.

I guess I am in the minority wanting a bit more room in the driver's cockpit.  It seems to me Lexus has expanded the passenger comfort at the expense of the most important person, the driver (me). I definitely have more space in my LS 430. Also, the visability could be improved, and the gas mileage.  Still, I am going to buy one, after I get my LX 570, what a vehicle!

I am heading to my dealer this afternoon to order the 2008 LS460L. It will be a special order since I want the 18 cubic foot trunk. In other words, I am not ordering it with the rear seat upgrade. However, I am getting everything else. This includes the the pre-collision system, radar cruise, self parking feature (I enjoy gadgets), Lexus Link, Mark Levinson audio, and adaptive variable air suspension with variable gear ratio steering. I had originally ordered the LS600HL, but I was turned off by the EPA gas mileage estimate of 20/22 and I canceled the order. Yes, yes, I know what you are thinking. If I can afford to buy this car, why would I care about gas mileage. It is the principal of the thing. I cannot be driving a so called hybrid that only gets 20/22 mpg. Maybe a few years from now when the Lithium-Ion battery is perfected, I will go hybrid. ljflx, how have you been? I have not communicated with you for a long time. There has not been much going in recent months. That is an amazing story you describe above about the deer hitting your beautiful LS and coming out of it without a scratch.
