Default 2009 vs 2007 LS460

I traded my '07 for an '09 (both short wheel base models) with AWD. Here in Pittsburgh AWD is really almost a necessity.

Anyway, I had no complaints with the '07, but I do notice that the '09 is quieter. Perhaps it's the double glazed (or whatever they call it) driver and front passenger windows. Perhaps there is some other internal wind improvements.

I did the JMCRANEY fix on the '07 and while I was NOT dissatisfied to begin with, that fix made the car even better. the '09, however, I don't think I'll fool with unless something changes.

Just reporting in.

Congrats on your '09 LS 460 AWD! Sounds like you're better equipped for the coming winter conditions.

I paid $1500 over invoice and they gave me a high wholesale trade in for the old car. I am certain I could have done better but they had the EXACT car that I wanted so I sucked it up and just did it.
