You have a really unique color
. I rarely see it in the street
I think that the LS is just too big to be a daily driver. It has some noticeable body roll and the brakes aren't really that effective to stop this big machine. But overall, It's a great machine and it's suitable for me because I have more HWY driving than city driving
Of course, having the optional air-suspension and/or AWD can improve the handling and reduce body roll.

How many miles are on the car. I would have your brakes system flushed. My LS has good brakes and a sensitive braking feel that that will throw you forward if you are not careful.
It's a great daily driver and maneuvers like a Camry for the most part.

Excellent photos, beautiful color! Love starfire pearl!
Also, im glad you figured out the rear sunshade issue.
I agree with Devh regarding the maneuverability of the car and the brakes.
The brakes, when in good shape, should stop the car nearly on a dime. Also, unless you are driving at a high rate of speed, the body roll isn't bad either.
The only time I notice it is when on a off/on ramp which has a curve to it and my speed is around 40mph. The force does cause my body weight to shift a bit, a bit more than I would like, slightly due to the fact the seat bolsters aren't very substantial. However, its not a sports car in any fashion, so upon normal driving circumstances, its fine.
Also, initially you stated that the car had a hesitation issue, but no you feel as though it doesn't because its just the way it drives and you weren't used to the gas pedal.
Anyone, correct me if im wrong, however, when I step on the gas, my LS has no hesitation what so ever. It shouldn't drive, reaction-wise, any different than any other car, unless your speaking about mashing the gas pedal, then there is a slight hesitation before it takes off.
Did you get the seat power button issue addressed?
Great car, great color and love the wheels!
Congrats man!

Nice car! Congrats on a clean 460L. I notice that you have what appears to be side indicators in your fenders? Haven't seen many LS's with that. I'm surprised b/c usually it's the US that ends up with these extra lights lol

But I totally disagree with your statement on it not being a good daily driver. I use mine as a commuter car, etc...drive 600 miles a week in it. The thing is the best daily driver I've ever had...great comfort, great fuel economy (27 mpg) and I think for a car this big it has small car manners. It steers in a radius so tight that it blows my mind. As for the brakes, I have driven very few cars with the clamping force of this brake system - they stop on a dime - certainly have saved my life at least once. And so far the reliability has been off the charts.

Mechanically, in the steering department, this car has been great. I have never had a car go 100k miles without replacing a tie rod and yet mine are still tight. Now I imagine tie rods are small potatoes if the electric steering rack breaks on this car, but so far so good.
