so to compete properly with the Mercedes S-Class. And to presumably charge as much money as the S Class. Does the LS need a V8 and a V12 respectively? or is the 3.5TT V6 that they use in the $36K Tundra enough?

I think 6LS needs:
1) Stylish exterior and interior like S Class.
Style like Genesis G90 and sell like Genesis G90 too.
2) Something competitive to S500's 112 cu ft EPA rated interior.
Though don't copy off S500's 13 cu ft EPA rated trunk.
3) Something equivalent to S500's 3.0 in-line six electric turbo with mild hybrid.
