There ARE a few new LS 460s around... (pics inside)
Not sure why they tell you that on the 1 800#

Yep, we're well aware of the issue with the Touring package cars. The Touring versions basically come with a 'steering stop' in the steering rack to eliminate rubbing issues (on the front sway bar) with the wider OE 19" wheels & tires.
It will be interesting to see how Lexus deals with this on the non-Touring cars, as buyers will undoubtedly want the 19" Touring wheels on their standard LSs (just like almost all IS 250s here in California have 18" wheels instead of 17"). Apparently, Lexus is only making about 50 Touring LSs per month due to production scheduling... order yours now if you want one!
We have this all figured out and will offer 20", 21" and 22" wheels for the new LS.
The Burgundy is quite rich in person- deeper than Matador Red. I normally don't like shades of red on big luxury cars, but this color is very handsome. I would be torn between this and the Dark Blue.

I'm not one to even consider buying a red car but must say this one looks way too hot! What a differance a set a wheels make. Is that pic a 460 or 460L?

Yes I like this car in this deep red paint more & more, I think I will consider it together with a couple of other dark colors when I get this car.
Looks even better in hi-res : https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da..._Zone_1JPG.jpg

It's harder to tell at an angle, but I think it looks more like a SWB 460 judging from the rear door.
