Default LS460L AWD equipment and handling

Does any one know if there is a difference in handling between the LS460L AWD and the LS460 AWD, specifically in terms of cornering and body lean? Also, is the navigation and/or Mark Levinson system standard on the LS460L AWD? If you look at both the Lexus website and the actual brochure for the 2010 models, there does not seem to be an option and/or package for either system in in LS460L. Thanks.

technically nav and ML are both options. standard is just a screen with rear camera. but so far i have only seen one ls460 without nav and it's swb.

i have seen a few ls460 (also swb) without mark levinson.

Navigation has always been standard in the 460L and this year it is listed as a no charge option for the 460 and the 460L

Levinson is a $2,080 stand alone option for the 460L listed towards the bottom of the options list on lexus.com.

What about the handling of a LS460L AWD v the AWD swb? The GM of the nearby Lexus store tells me that the SWB handles better than the lwb. I prefer a ride with less body lean. And I don't want a rear wheel drive, such as the sporty version. Any suggestions?

All else being equal, a shorter wheelbase car will handle better than a longer wheelbase car. Conversely, the LWB will give you a more comfortable ride.
