Its nice to keep in the garage and take out once in a while and only at night. I always keep a cheap 5spd sports car on hand. Right now I have a 92' Miata that I daily drive.

As for the LS460, I sat in one this weekend and think its a fantastic car. No complains at all.....but what it doesn't give us under 35 guys is a flashy look of accomplishment. I know in my heart that once I have a family and settle down and need to be responsbile I'd only buy a LS. But right now honestly.....I'd look into something less reliable but more flashy to show off my hard earned buck like a S550.

I agreed about the S550 until this weekend when I saw them side by side. The LS gives up nothing to the Benz. They both have better lines than the other here and there, but I wouldn't call either a flashier car than the other. The Benz has the star and that goes a long way. But if you look at detail and presence the LS is at least the match, and I personally think, more than the match for the S.

I really didn't thinkI would feel this way. I have always thought the Europeans had a clear style advantage, but it's really shrunk or disappeared with the new LS.

I would say that the LS is to the S what an IS is to a 3.

I'm 28 and think this is the best looking car ever designed. Seriously.

If I owned a house, I'd sell it to buy the new LS to live in.

So how come you think it's ugly now and give it a big HELL NO when asked if you would buy it.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a *****, but I can't stand bull**** artists, especially extreme ones. It's an insult to my intelligence, so I feel the need to point it out.
I think some people are very good at 'accidently' wording things in ways that would suggest that THEY are purchasing a car for THEMSELVES with THEIR money, rather than their PARENTS are purchasing a car for THEMSELVES with THEIR money.
