LS 460
Unfortunately, you'll have to wait. Each dealer is only getting 5 cars, and
the waiting lists have dozens of names on them already. I wouldn't expect
mere mortals to be able to get an LS460 till at least the summer of '07.
Pricing is expected to mid in the mid 100's, and as usual for Lexus new
introductions, no discounting what-so-ever off MSRP.

I drove the LS 460 today at a "Taste of Lexus" presentation here inSouthern California. I currently drive a '02 LS 430 daily and wassurprised that they could possibly top the comfort, quiet and ride in thenew model. The zero to sixty+ was impressive for such a big car and thehandling was also very good for the weight. The fit and finish is ofcourse, outstanding! These cars were said to be pre-production vehicles andone 460L had very poor black paint...way too much orange peel. All of theothers looked great. I also watched a live demonstration of the auto-parkfeature. It is really quite remarkable. I backed up and turned exactlythe way it needed to. Not totally automatic though, the driver does haveto put on the brakes as necessary and then pull forward manually. No sales folks taking orders and no prices were quoted here but all the Lexus folks said that the 460 and 460L will be available at the end of October. Can't wait.
