The 450h is very well balanced and properly poised for a car of this size, it is has the power and (most) of the handling, but the nanny really kill the fun part and it is not possible to disable it like in the 350 or 460...
So the IS-F for fun and the LS460 for family/road trip, we should be cover !

I agree with timeToy; I test drove the 450h, and I was amazed at the handling, power & composure of the vehicle. Granted it's not designed to be a sports sedan like BMW, but it's good enough for most people (I would say over 95% of the people who buy a sports car don't really take their car to the extreme limit the car is capable of). With some suspension tuning, you'll have a fairly good handling car handle even better. And this should be good enough for you or I (if it isn't, you are either a crazy driver, or should be looking at a high performance sports car instead!).

I have already started saving. I have family in Nissan corporate that can help me with purchase. I am waiting for 3-4 yrs for the bugs to be worked out, and the hype to die. GODZILLA is back. The BEAST FROM THE EAST has finally hit american soil. I already had a chance to sit in one and the owner started it up for me. Its an amazing machine. The GTR , for a guy who wont drive anthing but japanese cars, is the ultimate super car.

Its dangerous to sit in nicer cars or drive nicer cars than you own. It takes away some of the admiration for the car you have currently. I looooved my G35 (nicely tuned), but got sick of it 30 seconds after getting out of an M6 convertible that I had just flogged on open AZ highways. That thing pulls like a train. I started feeling the same way after sitting in the new GTR, but I will resist. I even have limited edition GTR brochures . They are to be given to owners only , but I got 2. Looking at that will have to do until the GS is payed off.

There you go friends, today I sold my GS450h, it has been very good to me, and I'm sure it will be well taken care off.
Went I drove it to the appointment this morning, I felt a little pinch in the heart when I realized that was the last time I was driving it...
But now I drive the IS-F all the time...

I got the itch recently too. In fact, I test drove the IS-F yesterday and managed to negotiate below invoice. However, I was lowballed for my GS300 trade-in so I had to hold off. There must be a way to get the IS-F!!!!! Perhaps I shall wait for the GS-F...

Buy the car out right and sell the old one privately (it took me 3 weeks and I got a great price for it)
