I've drive several different types of hybrids at low speeds and haven't experienced squeaks or rattles

Hmmm ... I think your dog has a problem, he needs to see a vet 
With the GS450h, at least I can have a couple friends ride with me, whereas right now, I usually have to ride with them in their sedans/SUV in certain rare occasions lol

Yep, even still... Sub 5's is fast enough for me and the added back seat space as well as maintaing 4 door convienience is enough to sway me. 
Speaking of the GS460... Will it get the 8 speed gearbox in the LS460?
