Lexus LS 600h L

[RF1]

Lexus unveiled the all-new 2008 LS 600h L hybrid luxury sedan

"The LS 600h L was developed to explore the outer reaches of performance, style and safety," said Bob Carter, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager. "It is a vehicle as efficient and familiar as it is indulgent and advanced, a far-reaching concept, fully developed and fully realized. It is simply in a class by itself."

The LS 460 and LS 460 L will be powered by an all-new, highly advanced 4.6-liter V8 engine that will produce approximately 380 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque. Combined with a world-first eight-speed automatic transmission, these LS sedans will travel from zero-to-sixty miles per hour in less than 5.5 seconds—all without sacrificing fuel economy.

Fantastic

It still looks like a piece of lard. Doesn't look like anything.

There's something wrong with Lexus interiors.

Too much rubbery plastic like that which is used very often in convertibles. The plastics are kinda nice, but not "soft", and the angles show how brittle they are in truth. Some of the buttons also look a bit cheap, but overall it's quite nice. Just boring like my GF likes to say...

mmm...

The rear seats and ortion looks better then the front area.

But it is nice
it is slowly developing

I actually like it.

Look at those rear seats. This type of luxury sedan is not my thing, but I do think the car and the interrior look real nice. The performance is also there with the fuel saving tech. This car gets the :good: from me.

[dutchmasterflex]

Looks better than the old LS.. and V8 Hybrid very nice ;)

I wonder what the rated MPG is.. I'm sure this will be a nice competitor for BMW and Mercedes.

[Erez]

kinda dull.. wont get it over a 7er.. or the audi.. or the merc (even it looks like this.. it at least has character..)

[sads]

It's a Lexus so its not exactly exciting just very stactic in its apperance so it can get anybody who'd be crazy enough not to buy s Euro Luxury sedan

[kksh]

Looks too much like an Acura RL/Honda Legend from the outside. The interior looks nice enough and I'm sure it'll be damn refined. But won't buy it though.... Too generic......

[taygunho]

Exterior is not good but ok.But I can't say samw about for interrior.Because car has too much plastic part in there. A luxury car must have more elegant parts and look.

8 Speed Transmission flipping hell how short are the gear ratios going to be you'll probably be in 3rd gear by the time you hit 60.

I'm not a huge fan on luxo cars, but I've always kind of liked the LS series, and this one has an interesting look, although the front looks an awful lot like the Acura RL. I want to see what the taillights look like also...that back seat looks pretty sweet! :D

[RF1]

It is similar
but i prefer Lexus

I say it'd serve its purpose real well. To be honest, I will take this over the 7 series / S-Class (non 55 / 65). But would take the S8 over this any day (I am sure the rich old ppl will think otherwise)

[martin100]

Ah, another wannabe S-Class :lol: But anyway, it doesn´t look that bad...

[RF1]

So what?
it is bad
that it looks like an S-Class or a 7-Series;
But generally Audi S8 is the best (which looks like A4, A6...)
;)

[DeMoN]

better looking than before, but it has some wierd shapes that dont go well.

[Z3uS]

I liked it a lot, the design is great both the interior and exterior and, as it seems, the power will be good too...

[RF1]

5,5 ->100km/h
