I found this through Google. I recently leased a new 2009 LS about a week ago and wanted to see what others were saying. For the last 6 years I leased 2 VW Phaetons and spent a lot of time on the Phaeton forum at VW Vortex, I was one of the original people on that forum. We were a real tight group of enthusiasts and I would have remained a Phaeton owner if they still sold them in the US. I'm still going through separation anxiety even though the LS is a competent car. My last Lexus was a 98 GS400. The good thing about the LS is the 8 speed which makes it comparable with a German car in regards to instant satisfaction. My key attraction to the Phaeton is no one knew I was driving an $80K car. If you aren't familiar with the Phaeton, it was the brainchild of Ferdinand Piech, the grandson of Ferdinand Porche. He wanted to design and build the best luxury car on the planet. He's also the guy who spearheaded the Bugatti Venron, the fastest production car. The Phaeton shares the same chassis and electronics as the Bentley Flying Spur. I always referred to it as a Hybrid, because it contained Lamborghini brakes, Bentley chassis and Audi drive train. Build in an all transparent factory in the Dresden East Germany art district.OK, that's out of my system. I'm now a proud (hopefully owner of an LS ;) Welcome to the club, and enjoy that sweet LS460 you got! I have a feeling you'll either love it, or be bored with it, all for the same reason: No more dealing with Lamborghini BREAKS, BENT-ley chasis, and AUDIFUL drive train issues! Hahaha....Sorry, I couldn't help myself on this one! We're Toyota guys and gals here....we get kicks out of our reliable cars! PS: Watch out for SW03ES...he'll steel your car! No offense taken. Believe it or not the only issue I had on the Phaeton was a cracked hose fitting right before I turned it in. And it didn't affect the drivability. That said, the warranty covered part was over $300.00 and that car will be an expensive nightmare after warranty and time. Since my residual was $42K and VW service sucks I didn't buy it out. The LS on the other hand would be a strong consideration since the residual is only $33K and it will still have a lot of life left:~)
