It's awful cheap at $75K if it's a hybrid with equivalent of ~500hp, even the current LS430UL can be close to $70K . . .

75 base it must be... Which must have Navigation, and maybe Mark Levinson. So basically $8,000 more for a 1.4l hybrid with way more power, and a hybrid engine

That is pretty wicked...

S600 is $140,000 base

Frankly, some of the info, particular the price & the PS picture given in that article should be taken with a grain of salt . . . I also think the hybrid LS600h vesrion probably would be pretty much loaded with options too.

That pic looks just like the MT one....I hope the future LS will be sleeker, more aerodynamic looking, and indeed less boy-racer and 7-series looking.

totally agree, these stuff i don't really pay much attention to right now since it's too early to tell, especially you have no idea what new technology will be out by then, etc...

if the ls600h is 75k then i will get it in a heart beat for sure but in reality i don't think there wil lbe the case, seeing that the ls430 ul now goes for 65k and the gs430 loaded is already 58k
