    Larger alternatives to LS?

    I am definitely planning to look at the Infiniti G37's (both sedan and coupe) since the specs suggest they should be slightly roomier than the Acura TL. I did take a look last night at the Kia Cadenza. I would have to find one with the black leather interior as the initial pictures I saw with...

    Larger alternatives to LS?

    Okay, sorry for the delayed response all. Typed this up on my tablet last night and it got borked just before I was ready to post. Was too frustrated to type it all out again... Spent the day yesterday trying out a bunch of options. All were loaded up, leather, automatics with most options and...

    Larger alternatives to LS?

    Just tried a 2012 MKS eco. B-pillar is massive. Literally shoves me to the center of the vehicle. Was similar with the SHO I tried.

    Larger alternatives to LS?

    Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming. Will have to look into the Lexus. Tried the 4 door Genesis. B-pillar is a problem. Haven't tried the coupe but they don't get very good reliability reviews. Had a Charger on rental this week. Large enough and yes, it goes like a scared cat but I...

    Larger alternatives to LS?

    Hi All, Not sure if this is the right section but thought I'd try... We bought my wife a 2004 LS a couple of years back. We got a steal of a deal and of course we love the car. I'm ready to replace my Explorer and would love to find something like the LS. Problem is I'm a really big guy, 6'2"...

    Rear sub fram mounts/bushings

    Good news! I can confirm that the wife's 2004 LS is back in service having replaced the Front Driver Side Rear Sub Frame bushing with Jaguar part # XR818140. The part cost me about $90 CDN with taxes and shipping from the nearest Jaguar dealer and my local shop put it in for $260 in labor and...

    Rear sub fram mounts/bushings

    Thanks for the replies. Really hoped I'd get something more definitive but considering the lineage on this issue it is what it is. I'm about 40 minutes South-East of London. It will be the Jag dealer in London where I order the part. Unfortunately the risk is all mine. It's not an in stock...

    Rear sub fram mounts/bushings

    I'm new here and I've found lots of information about the underside of the LS. I was going to bump an older thread regarding the sub frame mounts but as I tried to decide which old thread to bump I couldn't quite decide which one would be most relevant. :-( So my wife has a 2004 LS and my...

    New to the forum

    Hi All, I'm BigM555 and have been lurking for a couple of years. I've found lots of useful info here but I must admit I'm not much of an auto mechanic so I haven't been able to contribute anything of much value. Maybe I can change that. ;-) We bought the wife a black, low mileage 2004 LS...
