Replying to: stackemhigh (Aug 06, 2007 5:26 pm) friday . september 28 - 2007 , lexus of cherry hill received theirfirst 2008 ls . it was a ls460 swb , mercury silver with light grey leather , and grey wood . i drove the car extensively , and found NO WIND NOISE , NO GRABBY BRAKES , AN IMPROVED SATELLITE RADIO , A MUCH HEAVIER ROAD FEEL - INCLUDING A TIGHTER STEERING ACTION . i bought the car on the spot , the first ls 460 at cherry hill . Yes : i am back in the fold for another round . i am in atlantic city right now , after driving 60 miles from camden county , and ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF THE DRIVE . the 2008 is claimed to have no changes , but : it is truly a different machine for the better . i believe LEXUS will be # 1 again . this car has magic . mitchell rowe |

Replying to: rennybosch (Sep 30, 2007 11:09 am) happy to be conversing with you again . hope you are well . answer : YES .... i tried the brake in the hot position 50 times ... with no failures . the automobile is flawless , like a beautiful painting . probably the late "07's are also , as the factory claims there is no difference in the '08's . however , i myself tend to feel there is a build difference . i tried a couple '07's and they had slow to respond steering , and quicker action brakes . one can get used to anything , except failure that results in damage . i' m happy . the price of an "08 460 swb is $ 550 more on the monroney sticker . best to you mitchell rowe |

Replying to: atlas7 (Sep 30, 2007 12:34 pm) i spent 2000 miles on my 2007 ls 460 swb last november ( 1 year ago ) . i was a lexus fan and collector . i had a mishap in the '07 , and blamed the shortcoming of the car . it was one of very early builds . yes , i really "feel " there is a difference between the early '07 and the '08 . major difference . ordering cars from lexus is like going to the dentist . if you want a car , go pick out the one that thrills you when you drive her . you can wait till xxxx freezes over before an ordered lexus comes in . and when it does , you have to hope the codes were placed correctly or the car won't be what you ordered . then frustration sets in . then there are no cars to choose from . then you start on the kleenex for the tears ... and on and on and on . you want one ... just go buy one . nice tomeet you , best of luck mitchell rowe

Replying to: mitchellrowe (Sep 30, 2007 10:16 am) What you state above is music to my ears. I expect my 2008 LS460L to arrive sometime in November. Even though you have concerns that a special ordered LS may not arrive the way you want it, I think I will be fine. I special ordered mine with basically the exact specs as ljflx did and he had no trouble getting the car exactly as he ordered it. Both of us want the full trunk capacity so we ordered it without the rear seat upgrade. I loaded mine with every other option available. Please let us know how the driving goes for you on your 2008 LS460 SWB during the next few days or weeks. I'm sure everyone is interested to know of your experiences.

Replying to: cyclone4 (Oct 01, 2007 7:55 am) re : the LS 460 swb : no problems , complaints , or dissapointments . this model ( 2008 ) is as perfect as could be created . i just love it . they must be whipping those auto workers on the line as the cars come down and accross . ( or they take away their sake if they don't behave ) ... i do hope your car is everything you are expecting . if it's a november delivery , it could be on the water already . mitchell rowe |

Has anyone heard any reliable info regarding when the LS460 might get an AWD option?
