you can only use the price of the LWB to be fair since the Lexus only sells the 600h L in the US. In this case, the Lexus is still a couple hundred dollars cheaper.
plus this will be available in spring 2011...Next LS approaching fast

The "Short wheel base" 7 series's wheelbase is as long as the LS's "long wheel base" model, but I do agree that it isn't a completely fair comparison. Even so it's more powerful than the LSh. But competition is good. Maybe this will push Lexus to make the next LSh 500hp

Vehicles this size don't need that much power. They are not meant to go around a track. IMO, I think the 7 series has taken to HP war to an excess that is innapropriate given levels of pollution, increasing demand for gasoline, and the price of fuel. ...I don't care if you can afford the gas or not
