Superb car
This is an amazing car. I test drove all the Germans and others and this is by far the best. I think this is one of the best cars ever made to date. You will wizz by cars you think must be going 20 mph while in reality they are going 70 mph - all while sipping your coffee in a luxurious setting while listening to amazing music. It has turned my daily commute into a delightful experience that I look forward to daily. I feel fortunate everyday to own this car and plan on enjoying it for a long time. I got the chrome wheels and it adds a nice look to the black car exterior. The car looks very stylish, not dull at all.
Third LS
This is my third LS. Having had 97 (still going strong with 235,000), 05 that I'd probably still be driving if it hadn't been totalled. The 09 performs great, highway mileage of 25mpg. Great in the snow. Shocks are a bit pricey at $1100 each with the air ride and sport suspension package. At 145000 had to replace the radiator and thermostat and a CV Boot. I have a 97 LS400 and didn't have to do the radiator until 240,000 miles. The 460's cabin is a bit noisy and there's a whine that's apparent. Dealer said it's not the transmission. Did have an issue with the interior but Lexus paid for the fix, eventually.

Dream car
I didnt know what all the fuss was about. I said I'd never spend this much money on a car. After test driving this I fell in love but after owning this car for 2 weeks I think its safe to say I'll never own anything else.

Can Not Beat The Reliability
I bought mine as a Certified Car. while that costs anywhere from $1500 to $2000 more it's well worth extra $$. The extended warranty not so much based on the number of miles one drives. I don't drive a lot. The only thing I've had to do in 6 1/2 years is change oil on schedule and change batteries. I'm so sold on this car that I'm now looking for my third V-8 LS that will take me deep into retirement. Don't like the idea of a 6 cylinder big car.
LS 460
Everyone who sees the car remarks about the fit & finish. Everything fits together perfectly and works perfectly. While the exterior may share some styling with the Lexus ES, you know youre driving a top-of-the-line car once you are inside. In contrast to many European rivals, all the controls and buttons are easy to understand. Many of these have adjustable features which can be set by the owner or the dealer (like how long the interior lights stay on after you shut the door.). Actual mileage is 22 MPG, overall.
