I have done both, and although both are crazy easy, i would refute that the 460 is easier to change than the 430. The 430 only has one pin to remove and the pads pull right out, the 460 has two end pins. Two pins are harder to remove than one in my opinion, but we're talking only added seconds, not minutes.

Just curious and priced a '13 LS430L AWD with UL package and over $100K ... talk about sticker shock !!!!

^ Yeah, no way I could afford that anytime soon lol. I really dig the new body interior...but I really don't like the front grille on the new model.

Maybe it will grow on me with time.

Actually, I still prefer the LS430 front vs the 460, but prefer the 460 everything else lol

I have been for many long rides as a passenger in the 460. It's a very, very nice car, but I prefer the 430 conservative styling and "greenhouse" interior.

The 460 has a much firmer, sportier ride, and is maybe a little faster, but these are not items which are of any interest to me ..... I like slow and comfortable motoring, so LS430 > LS460 for me!

Corect mme if I am wrong but idoesn't the 430 interior front seat seem larger? The console is higher and takes up arm and leg space? I just sat in one once

I would hate to be mistaken for a Buick or a Hyundai. A Mercedes, not so bad.
