Default Traded my GS for a LS460 yesterday.

It's been a fun ride but it's time to say goodbye to all of my GS buddies here. I traded the GS350 for a LS460 yesterday. The GS was the absolute best car I have ever owned and it served me well for 2 years but car ADD set in and it was time to make a change. My initial impression is that the LS is not a better version of the GS but it is more accurate to say it's a upscale version of the ES. The GS and LS are not the same type of car so it's not a lateral move into something better. I did not anticipate such a huge difference. Anyways, I will post a detailed review when I get a chance. There will be some interesting stuff in there.

Congrats Doc. You need to give us the full skinny on the LS purchase experience - IIRC, you were going to buy a new ES at the same time you negoitated a new ES for your mother (in-law) but the dealer pulled a bait & switch and you backed into a 3GS at a sweet price . . .
