I will tell you, that since I added the subwoofer I have gotten to where I really enjoy the base Burmester sound, coming from a 2017 LS460L with ML. Its still no ML, but as my memory of the ML has faded, I do really enjoy listening to music in this car too.

S560 is MUCH more modern than the LS460. Better car, although the LS460 is also a wonderful car.

Techwise its no comparison, the S560 is way more advanced.
The LS460 is a great car and it holds up, but the S560 is just the better car. Which it should be, my S560 was $33,000 more than my LS460L.

The S560 is a little bit better in every way than the LS, at speed it feels more solid, its perhaps a little firmer at low speeds around town. Mercedes does a better job than Lexus at isolating the car from road noise, but perhaps not quite as good a job at isolating it from wind noise, that could be that you just notice wind noise more because tire roar and road noise is more damped. S560 seems more susceptible to crosswind noise on a windy day. Engine in the S560 is considerably smoother, more refined, and better muted. S560 has WAY more power.

Come to find out the dealership (Keyes European) is the worst at out if state deals based on reviews lol.
I've gotten the run around since the whole process started. Took them a week to get a wire my bank said was delivered because it went to their wrong office?? Whatever that means. Had to send a notary twice because the first time they put my name on the docs backwards and the 2nd time they had it right, but my address was incorrect. Today the GM said they are still waiting on the bank to fund the loan and it should be out for delivery in the next couple days. It's been a nightmare.

Was it an out of state deal? I feel like they treat those deals differently. I told the finance manager that if I was local and came in, I would have been valued more. After all my complaining, the GM said he would make my 1st payment lol
