Thaiyotakamli Supersonic April 26, 2013 Share April 26, 2013 By the way, the S350CGI BlueEfficiency from C&C sold out liao. Now they only have S300L. Facelift E-Class arriving June/July. W222 S Class arriving by end of year. Haha. That means there really aren't that many S350L BlueEfficiency CGI (306bhp version) on our roads given the limited period of time it went on sale. S-Class is way more comfier than the 7-Series. From the cushiness of the suspension, to the lack of road noise and suspension thud (you can hear the road/ tire noise and suspension thud in the 7Series). Of course, the engine in BMW is quieter when you're just driving around normally. In the S Class, it's engine makes itself noticed. Haha. Sorry beg to differ, after tested drive the 730Li and facelifted S300L, ride, road noise and cabin insulation 730Li win S300L anytime. Only one thing S class win which is the design and of course the branding more prestige Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER-3682 Twincharged April 26, 2013 Share April 26, 2013 hi michael, does the ls430/460 have air suspension too? is it also costly to replace them? Not in S'pore car,but standard in American market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u change to new than the logic doesnt work but if u change to same price, u get to save. Moreover i already absorbed 90k dep in a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelphua 1st Gear April 26, 2013 Share April 26, 2013 Hi Michael, to be fair, the LS handling can never match that of S. I drove both before and I can say S class handling and stability is a notch above LS. If i a Just very own piece of verdict, no offence. Cheers. Hi Krieger, no worries abt yr comment. Every one has their very own taste buds! For u it's the S, for me it's the LS. Hahahahahaha. Anyhow, we r all car lovers! Just to answer another bro's question on the suspension, I think it is not the air type. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proton_neutron 1st Gear April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 The facelifted Lexus LS460 has been tuned to be more sporty, so the suspension is a tad stiffer and the engine noise is more audible. But generally, it's still a floppy car to drive. Haha. Power of course shiok lah. 4.6V8 leh. S500L with 4665cc turbo V8 435bhp will also be a super fast car.

Throttle2 Supersonic April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 (edited) 19" tyre, same type of tyre used in R8 ur question same with mine when the agent told me.
