May 12th 2008 7:49PM I own an LS-460 and after driving all of the German offerings I was convinced the 8 speed transmission was the best of the group. The people who say it "hunts" too much simply don't know how to get the best from the car. Depending on how you drive It engages 1 of 2 shift patterns. If you drive hard it will give you all the power when you ask for it (shifts alot). If however, you drive with a little more restrain, you will find yourself in a pleasant nirvana of holding high gears and only downshifting when you mean it to. It shifts in 160ms and that is plenty fast for me. P.S. I admit to its complete lack of steering feel.

Aug 5th 2007 12:51PM LOL i thought people understood how watts do not equal quality. The B&O system is very good but from a audiophile isn't even close to the ML 450 system. Just a quick note on the 460's boringness, with the sport suspension it has more road feel than the s550. Also feels faster off the line.
