I would say all those cars I mentioned track great and feel better the faster you go, but they're different. Does that make sense? The LS500 is a great car, its just not a great "LS".
I actually have a Genesis dealer in my town now, but I haven't checked them out yet.
I would agree that no matter how good Kia's cars might be, you'll never get me near my local dealer. Their yelp reviews are hilarious. https://www.yelp.com/biz/kia-of-cher...Kia+Dealership

Its interesting, the germans are getting softer and Lexus is getting firmer.
Haha, I appreciate that!

It feels more like a Panamera or an A7/S7, MB GLS than it does a car like an S Class or 7 Series. Thats not to say it rides poorly, it rides very well theres just clearly been an adjustment made that prioritizes dynamics at the expense of ride comfort. whereas in a flagship sedan that priority is reversed

Here is a L/Certified exec seating package 17 with 12k miles at $60k....you could find a pre-owned 18 LS with air suspension for about the same price however.

Part of the problem is there aren't many of these unicorns (unless Steve, you want to sell yours
).

Forget all the Lexus CPO BS, just verify it's been serviced via Lexus.com and make sure it hasn't been wrecked and viola!

I may end up with a late 460 one day, maybe maybe not. The ole' 430 shows no signs of slowing down.

IMHO when it comes to purchasing a luxury car my preference was towards getting it fully loaded with all the must have options (LWB, ML, upgraded leather, PCS, ect.). Why not run the flag all the way to the top of the flagpole on the Lexus flagship? Production numbers for loaded models are nonexistent but they are out there. I found my unicorn out in the sticks, which I realize was pure luck.
It would be a blast to order a new LS equipped EXACTLY the way you want it, but the rapid deprecation would take to much of the fun out of it for me.

). By that, I mean a LWB with air suspension - I'm in the Dallas area and I did a nationwide search, came up with less than 10 specimens. I did restrict my search to RWD (I don't need AWD) though.

I wouldn't worry about the AWD. Having had both, I would get another AWD without hesitation. Even if you don't need it, if you have to take AWD in order to get the LWB and the air suspension thats a no brainer.
