ah just read the news. very sad how some news reporters just BS all they want.... how can they say this is the green 600hl. they should be penalized

oh another funny note is that they said from far away they thought it's the 7 series, hehe

Hmmm true the LED headlights are not there, but I see the blue outlined pre collision system L badge and the 600hL wheels....

the badge can arguably reflections? i did notice it as well. the wheels, can't they be the 19s from the touring package?

in any case, for sure i haven't seen a 600h or 600hl without the led headlights plus, i don't think the car is available to the public yet?

19" from the touring package are 5 spoke.

lol, when it's your dream car you tend to read more about it

ls460 and ls460hl have been out for a while. the 600h/600hl is supposed to be out in spring, but they delayed it (rumor was june). and a short while back it seemed like they delayed it further to aug

I start to wonder if this LS is a "special" version with some kind of protection option... According to the original news paper, the dealer said HK target release date is in mid July... but who knows.. when the Chief Exec Tsiang wants something...HE WILL GET it..

Keep in mind... Crown Motors (Lexus sole authorized Dealer in HK) could have a "HK" version of LS600HL

If you check out http://www.lexus.com.hk/lexus_cars/l...case/index.asp

They have already made a press release in early June...

From what I've seen on HK Lexus site.... It seems like they do not have 3 LED light option..... Besides, US is always slow in new release anyways due to all the legal and blah blah blah stuff

So I guess the HK newspaper is right at the ended.... We are BUSTED... :P
