Default New LS500h “EXECUTIVE”.

Been a long time since I posted, but I just wanted to say something about the new LS500h “EXECUTIVE” which my parents just got delivered to them 2 weeks ago.

Well, I have to say, it really is a nice car, the features are great and for people who are not concerned about engine size etc, the V6 hybrid drive train is really quite smooth. Much smoother than the old LS. Also, the trunk room has increased nearly double, which is a relief. Anyway, just thought I would drop in and say hello to all.

Dave is in Japan so it looks like the release was earlier for JDM customers

Congratulations to your folks....and welcome back. Haven't seen you post much lately.

I haven't seen the new 2018 LS in person....been relying on images, press write-ups, and, of course, talk here on Car Chat. I hope to check one out at the upcoming D.C. Auto Show in a few weeks, assuming, of course, they have an unlocked one on the floor.

Many CL'ers attempted to make it seem like the 5LS was such a failure that the world would end.

But look, happy customers. Gee, nobody predicted that one.

CONGRATS! More detailed user reviews & pics would be great!

LOL, your welcome to come to any BBQ we have.

I still have the S63, but have seriously been considering the new Porsche Panamera Turbo S-E for the last 6 months. And if my wife would only let me buy the Benz GTR, but we still have kids and she is not impressed with a two seater.

So this LS. Was it a US car? What was the MSRP?

No, it is in Japan and works out to about $175K in US dollars for the MSRP.
