If you turn your steering wheel slightly to the left and right you will see two screws on the top of the column cover the holes look like they were sloted for a cover for the screws but yet there are no covers for the screws.

When it is raining you can barely hear the rain drops hitting the LS460 compared to the LS430.
The LS460 transmission shifts much smoother than the LS430.
The LS460 has more HP yet gets better gas milage
than the LS430.
The LS460 handles better than the LS430
The LS460 is more fun to drive than the LS430
Just my observations.

You are very detailed oriented. Hopefully you are not looking at these things while you are driving. lol

I never drove the LS430 so I can not comment. I guess you can not miss something you never had.

The LS430 sure did sell well though BUT with all of the new features and styling I fully anticipate the 460 to sell even more!
