So I have a love hate relationship with the LS 460 F Sport, while I want one, there are a few things holding it back vs the current Genesis/G80 cars. Now granted this should be more of a LS vs G90 type thing but I'm gonna throw out some of what I found interesting between the two and why I still can't seem to get a LS.
The good
-Crafted line black/red leather interior is unique and edgy, materials feel great leather and fit and finish is great on this type of car.
-Stiffer chassis than the Genesis, partly because it only has a moon roof vs the pano roof.
-On a different level of isolation from outside, if you though the genesis was quiet the LS is even nicer.
-Smooth as butter power, def not meant to be driven in a hurry, can it get up and go? yes! but its not that type of car. I would guess the 5.0 Tau V8 would have a similar feel.
-It's a LS.
-Air suspension feels nice.
The Bad
-I have tested 3 LS460s on serval occasions and everyone has worn interior, and I mean worn like the materials just can't hold up to daily use. The leather have scratches and folds, and spots that are just ruined. The console with the ac controls seems to scratch super easy and just looks like a beat up old car on the inside. This is 3 different cars all have the same feeling.
-Interior and navigation graphics feels dated, it makes it feel like a older model than it should.
-The AWD system doesn't seem to have the activeness of the genesis, the awd on the genesis seems to help in the corners and balance the car out, after driving other awd systems the Genesis is far superior on this.
-Lack of gadgets for the price, no active cruise, no AEB, no lane assist if I remember correctly, it does have BSD, and auto hold.
-No HUD either.
While this should be a comparison against the G90 but vs the G80 I'd stay with the g80, I want to like the LS but the lack of features and the interior quirks just doesn't do it.
