Default Finally...pics of the 460L

Some pics of my wifes 460L. Wanted a SGM/BLK and fortunately found this one locally CPOd at the dealership. Its in exc condition and couldnt pass it up. It has AVS, ML, Luxury Pkg, Lexus Link, Int Pkg Assist, and Adv Pkg Guidance Sys. Its usually on regular height (low) and it def gives it a presence on the road (or even just parked). Ppl cant get over how LONG and SLEEK the L looks in person. Working on getting the Datasystems module as well. Now I just have to convince her that she needs this mod...along with some 22s IMO, those stock rims look way too small as is.

Thanks for all the great info!

I agree--get new rims. The LS is a beautiful sedan, screaming for some better wheels. I don't know what Lexus was thinking with the utterly staid stock wheels. These days it's all about looks.

looks cheap is that the new Corolla? Did you get XLE or LE JK

Lexus really did a great job on the new LS. And thats really nice color btw. I also read on consumer reports that the new LS also gets pretty good gas millage considering its size and engine. Congrats on your new car, your one lucky person!!! Hope you don't mind your car is also my computer wallpaper now

The only thing that bothers me is why not offer all wheel drive. Audi and Mercedes has it and I am sure the next BMW 7 will because all the late models BM even coupes can be had with AWD. It kind of alienates people living in the North East. Thats the only reason why at the end of the day my parents went with a Mercedes.

p.s. I personally wouldn't mod the car or anything. Its just to nice to begin with, but if I really wanted to I would get bigger rims. I wouldn't mod the bumpers or anything because the car is to "nice" and it would look weird. Its like when you see a Mercedes with a lot Mods on it, kind of reminds of wannabe gangsters.

Thanks all. Its funny how i bought it saying "there is nothing else that you could possibly do to this car b/c it has everything!" Now its more of a drop, 22s, darker tints, etc...my wallet is gonna take a beating (assuming my wife doesnt kill me first!)

btw, is there any sort of downside to running on reg height (NOT high height) and Sport mode all the time? Does anyone else with AVS experienced more inner/outer edge tire wear with the lower and center of gravity. May not make a big diff since its not a drastic drop, but just wondering??

Impressive car - this is definitely the car for a "family man" to have!

Mod well as I'm sure you will keep it clean....can't wait to see it's progress over time.
