I heard the High Output Turbos were a problem, but most turbos are after a while. ;D

The sensible car would be the LS430, Apparently better on fuel than a 3.2 Omega and capable of 0-60 under 6 seconds. Never hear bad things about them... Probably the best car for toys available too  8)

This type I have in mind  :y

Looks very Jap inside though. doesn't look 'quality', although seeing one in the flesh might change my mind.

Was a nice experience as a passenger in one, Driving one unsure would need to test drive one, They do feel well built this was a 2001 LS430 the pre mini FL.

I do fear that they might be too big in size though.

2 good reasons just there  :y

Sure are comfortable, Can't say from first hand experience on reliability but the word reliability is well known for them, Seen a few done 400k+ and still going strong...

Nice to have that little extra power too, Silky smooth transmission and silent engine with a nice note under load.

If you thought the 3.0/3.2 Omega Elite was well equipped.. Take a look at what the LS430 has especially the later ones 2003-2006  :o

Must resist, must resist, must resist!!!!  :D ;D ;D
