I personally prefer them in this order G3, G4, G2, G1

I can't quite warm up to the looks of the 430, the front end seems to heavy and the car seems tallish, but I love the interior and the extra added features.

Whats everyone else think?

[Matthew_McNally]

I went G4.

prolly cos I have seen so many of these "in the flesh" in dealers etc

I see the older models - but going by on the road sorta thing.

Again - the two tone paint puts me off the older ones - its not my cup of tea

My preferrable order goes G2, G4, G3, G1. I really like the style of the G2 but love the interior of the G4. It's something to look forward to on my future LS400.

Yeah, the two tone paint is annoying. I believe they were trying to copy the paint scheme of the Mercedes S class? Appearance wise it was good my 1990 LS400 was repainted otherwise I would of eventually did it myself. It was repainted to solid onyx black.

I will be putting 18" chrome rims on the car next month. It should look pretty good. It will look like an expensive car. But I paid less than 8K total with rims.... Hehehe....

The best part....I own it free and clear with no CAR PAYMENT... That's what I really like...

[SW03ES]

LOL, no free and clear here.

G4, because it's the only LS I have been driven.

it's actually my dad's car, but I almost drive it everyday to work with my dad because he likes to sit in there more than drives it. At first I thought the style and performance of the LS430 are very dull. Then I change my view after drove it for sometime. It's the most refine and comfortable car I have drove. ride quality is a lot better than my SC with run flat.

I am sure G1, G2, G3 are also having very good ride quality.

G4 :P

As Matt said, the older LS are mostly seen on the road and do look 'dated'. The new G4 LS looks really smart and modern. The interior is really stylish. I have only seen 1 new LS on the road and it def. had road presence B)

[SW03ES]

The ride quality between the G3 and the G4 at least is very similar.

ToddLS400 Where did you get the cladding painted? I really want to have this done and how much was it?
