I just read on the Lexus.com LS preview teaser site that for the 600h L, the 'Premium Four-Seat Package' is optional.

Chris Bangle your deliverance has arrived, nobody can deny he is a genius now. I will admit I kind of like what Lexus has done with this. I would have liked a bigger grill though. I think the lines on the window chrome looks amateurish, probably will be fixed with the next one.

It's better than most anything Bangle has come up with, which I guess could be saying that he deserves credit for kicking everyone for a jumpstart forward...

The LS Hybrid looks great. Stunning, in black. The leather full console is a wonderful 'upper class' element and I think they didn't highlight it--perhaps one of a few additional surprises from this 'ultimate Lexus.'

well they have too much to list, full leather dash and door panels, that's pretty low on their list i suppose

Also, I noticed in the Hybrid Video, they mention 'Active Variable Suspension'. What is this? Is this the mythical "Bose" suspension system that has supposedly been in the works for years?

I knew I saw that integrated exhaust before. Too bad this sold so poorly.
