And if you spend time in a 2005 LS430 with UL you'll find out it's the best luxury sedan on the market. Second best in a few years thanks to the LS600lh.

Just for your info I had a LS430 UL with white interior for about 3 years.... I think I spend more than enough time in one..

My condolences.
I had a 94 LS400 for too long, have an 05 LS430, an 01 S500 and a 06 S550.

I'm admin at mbworld.org, I know my Mercedes's, and I know my Lexus's.

Edit: But I don't know my grammaah!

in the S600 video, Clarkson got a 500+ page book on the entire history of britain, then compared it to the 700+ page owners manual of the S600, funny

That is a really nice collection of cars

I love the over-the-top styling of the S550. I like the fact that people either love it or hate it. At least you can't call it vanilla.
