Default A few hours with my LS Hybrid

WOW! First impression is simply WOW! Quick for it size. Quiet as heck. Heavy/Huge. Different Tranny - great but different "feel". Complicated yet simple. Buttons. Gadgets. Those who are waiting, sight unseen...it will exceed your expectations. Could I nitpick a few things...probably.

Sum it up this way: I just want to go sit in it.

More impressions. Alot of gizmos on the car. Many (self park) I'll never use. The interface is more simple than my MB, but effective. Nav is very detailed - great for city folks - not so with 5 main roads out here. Power is surprising. I can tell the car will be a bit of a challenge (stopping) in winter due to weight. The quiet is astounding. The seats are very comfortable. Handling and ride are great. Starting with no engine will take some getting used to. Trunk not cavernous, but certainly meets my overnight needs.

The only squawk is the rear DVD did not work on the flip down screen - couldn't get movies to play on the rear screen. I would love some guidance on how to use this if the replacement remote fails to solve.

The car has exceeded my expectations. Delivery was great. As close to perfection as I have seen in a car.

For what you paid, get the dealer to fix it!

Its most likely a setting issue. I have had no problems with mine.

After a few days now. Honestly, the only thing better than this vehicle would be a station wagon version for my wife.

Glad to hear it's that good!

I'm trying to envision what an LS 600h L wagon would look like.

Were you able to get the rear DVD to work? How are you liking the LED lights?
