so i guess autoweek was in a swb and complain about the trunk space? man they should be in a lwb with rear seat upgrades

on the other hand, i do agree that say the s class, it has quite a bit larger and more practical trunk

It was an LWB...

oh ok, so it's lwb, took 14 posts to get the answer

if it has the rear seat upgrades, then these guys should learn that it's due to ac units...

I think they gave it a glowing report overall, passionate pursuit link indicates some door rattles at 15k miles, but overall they did not say anything that seems biased.

And they let it go in December so won't report on recall for pulleys unless for some reason records aren't updated and they get it in the mail.

The trunk is small compared to the LS 430. I can't see how you say the trunk is huge?

Craig

and after seeing the e class / s class, as well as my gs400, i don't think the ls460 has a big trunk neither

It is 18 cubic feet as long as you do not order the rear seat upgrade package. I ordered it without the RSU and am very happy about it. The rear seats still recline and the rear seat passengers are very comfortable. The 18 cf trunk was very useful on our recent trip to Detroit.
