I have no problem paying to play with stuff that are good..............like the ABC or a Ferrari
Lexus's air suspension? Not so much, I am enjoying my cheap steel coil springs much more then my ex-air suspension.
Lexus air suspension sucks! Had it on 3 of my Lexus before, hate them ( beside problems, it will always sit uneven, we all know that! )! Drove my friend's coilover LS430, it was much better!

Yup, exactly what I meant.
Sitting uneven is what I hated the most, it looks so ghetto. As far as I know, this problem have not been fix on the LS460, they still act the same way.

Your 750iL is on air right? Any similar issue?
No, no issue at all, I couldn't even tell it is air from driving. And the car sits even all the time. It raise up quicky under heavy load, and after I unload the trunk, it drops back to regular height as fast as a lowrider.
You have to wait til the 5LS. If they carry over the drivetrain to the 5LS, which is entirely possible, that would be a major bummer
I hope not, I wish the 5LS will have at least 3 engine choice, V6 hybrid with 350+ HP, V8 with at least 440 HP, and V8 hybrid with 480 HP. And a TT V8 putting out 550HP in a LS-F wouldn't hurt!

That's awesome, good to know
My friend don't have any problem with his AMG's suspension either. It works perfectly.

^^^^ that would be ideal.
With the way Lexus is going with their powertrain though, I would be happy if they just stick the current 416 hp 5.0L V8 in it as is.
If they do a TT V8 with this F-Sport looks and interior, I will probably own one instead of an Euro car.

face it, last we checked bmw and mb air are also uneven, easily 1/2", both my s550 and your friend's car. i don't think that's fair to just criticize lexus
fwiw, ls460 with air rides noticeably better than springs/shocks setup, i have driven so many i could tell
older lexus air rides very soft, that's debatable. but sux, that's probably just in your eyes. i would have more confidence in lexus air suspension not breaking before bmw and mb do
