The Lexus is full-plugged to over the roof with cleveren details and with innovative solutions, which address nearly all needs from the full equipment to environmental protection - and many satisfy. S 600 the better driver car may be and the more radiating status symbol, but the LS 600h opens the more interesting long-term perspectives.
Result by AUTO picture author George Kacher:
Who drives much short distance - leaves itself or to drive -, to which should the Lexus into the closer choice pull. No, not only because of CO2 and Sprit save effect. But also to the satisfaction of the play impulse, which above all the rear passengers in the abundance may realize. As driving machine is not to be struck against it Mercedes. It goes around worlds better, is many more comfortable and makes all around more fun. The S-600-Budget blows up however (nearly) each framework.

Pole Position
In a nutshell, this article says the S600 is a driver's car (i.e. better steering, more responsive, more power, etc...). On the other hand, the writer praises Lexus for a more technologically advanced and environmentally responsible vehicle. From the latter perspective, Lexus wins high praise with some reservations.

BTW, not all systems are created equal. IMHO, interm of driving dynamics, Lexus air systems are not on par with the German.

Mercedes' ABC (Active Body Control) is reliable (I haven't heard any issues from it, only Airmatic) and it's a revolution in terms of air suspension design and responsiveness.
It controls the R230 *very* well. IMO if Mercedes offers it as an option on a particular vehicle -- you must check it
