Took delivery of my new LS 430 day before Thanksgiving. Black on black with maple wood interior. Took base radio this time (my LS 400 had Nakamici). Works like a charm. Mark Levinson radio seems to be packaged only with navigation system and/or full ultra luxury package. Waste of my money at least. Car came with Lexus Link system (On Star). Car is a charm, many improvements. Now back seats are heated (kids love it). Power side mirrors fold back automatically like steering wheel and have entry lights underneath like Mercedes S class. car is much roomier and even has electronic compass in instrument cluster. I noticed that the tires (all season) are inflated to 30 psi now which gives a much firmer ride. My old LS was inflated to 25-27 for softer ride (I always pumped them up). Car is great, especially new extra gear on auto transmission. Power seems to come on later though, but maybe I haven't broken it in yet. Who the hell can keep this car to 55 mph for the first 1000 miles. Great car for the money.
