Hi Guys, after 3 years of going back and forth with want a GSF or LS500, finally pulled the trigger today. Actually my wife suprised me, black on black 2022 LS500 AWD, it's the base premium model, but just came off the boat a few days ago and hit the dealer today. Got it at MSRP, 81k so not terrible consider many dealers I called for 5k to 8k above. Only drive it 25 miles but love it, big and comfortable, miss my GS, drove 4 of them for 14 years, but this does truly feel like a bigger GS, absolutely love it. Here are a few pics.

Congratulations, gorgeous car, and very unique in the sea of SUVs and German sedans. This is by far the best looking flagship sedan on the road today.

Very nice. I love it!

thanks!!!!

thanks!! I agree, the performance is a little behind the V8 competition, but it's the quickest 6 cyclinder and the looks are my favorite out of the competition.

Absolutely, and with age it will only be more rare and unique on the road as not too many of them are sold.

Nice car. Those are the first LS wheels I actually like! Usually I see the ugly chrome wheels. I’ve never seen the ones that came on your car, the whole car looks great.

mikedozz

thank you!! These were the 19s that came with the premium model, I might keep these for winter and upgrade to F-Sport 20s for summer.

I am happy for your success on buying this sweet ride.

What engine does it have?
I'm guesing it's not a 5.0 liter since engines keep getting smaller these days with the IS500 but maybe it is?

Inviting to drop a pic of what's under the hood, wanna see!

mikedozz

it's the twin turbo 6, about 415hp, it really moves once your cruising and floor the pedal, a little heavy off the line.

LC500 is on a another level, would get one in a heartbeat if didn't have young children. That engine is amazing.

Black on Black is my favorite color combo for sporty sedans.
I could do Blue paint too.

Going from a GS to a LS, you’ll find a lot of parallel parking spaces you no longer can squeeze in!
