I think I may be leaving Lexus for a while, a deal came up on an S8+ Audi Exclusive interior with black optics and full carbon with all options so I'll probably sell my LS460 to make room for it.
It's already stage 2 as well so 2.6 sec 0-60 and a low 10s 1/4, I won't even have to modify much to get it where I want it. Even has carbon ceramic brakes already with the pads recently changed, I would likely move those to the W12 though

the pre facelift 17" wheels on the 430 (as pictured in your post) are probably my favorite wheel upgrade for the 400! the 5 spoke 18" wheels look great of course but the 17s are still pure classiness without starting to be sporty
i think this car actually belonged to @billydpowe who was in the LS forum years ago

Your mention made me realize hadn’t seen him post in a while and knew he was getting up there in years. Googled him up

ha, definitely. (we're talking about the mb a180 wagon i'm driving folks )
and the VAST majority of audis, bmws, and mbs (of which there a HUGE quantity) and the small/midsize models.
because cars are so expensive in the uk, a mid-level mb like a gle for example, is consistent a very fancy high end car.
i don't care about 'marques', 'prestige', 'cachet', etc.

Nor do I, I buy what the car actually is not what brand it is from. At the high end though it's usually a euro brand

Track people would like your picks better, sure. I have no use for any of that, when we get ours I want nothing but the luxury options.

Working a deal on this S580...we'll see how it goes. its a 2023 leftover and the lease support is really good, if the numbers work out it should be less than what I am paying. I love the 7 but there isnt anything on the ground that I like, and ordering would be 4-6 months...
$10k lease cash and another $10.7K for AMEX cardholders plus the discount for it being a leftover should equal $30k+ off...

No, I love how they look but I will go down to 20s (those are 21s), thats the last thing I will throw in at the end of the deal, for them to swap the 21s with 20s.

As soon as I saw Billy's car posted I had the same thought, wondering if he was still with us. Sorry to hear that...he lived a good life though and he certainly had no doubts about where he was going.
I totally disagree. Pull up somewhere in an LC or an RC-F and see what attention difference there is, most people won't give the RC-F a second look.
