LS460hL Launch Edition?
The Lexus website talks about this special car, being the first 100 off the assembly line (and #1 is spoken for as a charity vehicle). I talked to the internet sales manager at my local dealership and apparently no one there had even heard of it. They did a little research, and the word they're getting from corporate is that this will be another Nieman Marcus Edition available only from NM and not from Lexus dealers.
Do any of my knowledgeable CL brethren know anything more?

It's actually going to look like this:
Special Edition color. Also note that the wheels are similar to that of the GS450h...

From the Lexus website:
"We proudly present the 2008 Lexus LS 600h L Launch Edition, arriving in mid-2007. It features the world’s first full-hybrid V8 powertrain, is equipped with all-wheel drive and is based on the long-wheelbase Lexus LS, making the ride exemplary.
As for the amenities, they have to be seen to be believed. The lustrous paint is an exclusive Truffle Mica, the interior features sumptuous Alabaster leather-trimmed seats, and each vehicle will be numbered with commemorative Launch Edition badging. This rare luxury sedan even comes with a set of custom-made Italian leather luggage."

The special edition color is actually going to be Truffle Mica with Alabaster interior...just like the combination in the pre-production LS460 we saw earlier last year. The special wheels are all chrome. They are actually displayed on the LS600hL on the turntable at NAIAS 07.

Thanks for the press release. Now I just need to know how to get one! I am an InCircle member, but I'm afraid if I call them they'll be as clueless as my local Lexus dealer was.
Will all hybrid LS's be AWD or is that truly a launch edition exclusive? If so, that's a HUGE benefit!
